Yesterday it could have been tempting not to go, but no, I'm doing this for me...so me better get interested. Went out - found it hard - but felt so much better for doing it when I finished. I calculate I only have 17 more runs until graduation!!

Well done it's so hard sometimes but well worth it. It doesn't seem like 2 mins ago I was on W4 and on W9 now. Still hard but still rewarding :-D

I did the same run yesterday, & the fact I headed out on a grey day with rain potential felt like I had broken more than one barrier! Feels like I've properly joined the band of runners. Well done you, will be watching your progress :)

Well done! I am on week 7 and it doesn't seem that long ago I was in week 4 feeling like you did! In fact, one of the runs I did around that week I got home just as it started pouring with rain! Then the rain didn't ease up at all that day so it was a jolly good job I did the run then! Lol

I started running in November and I still haven't run in the rain. I won't feel like a runner till I get home looking like drowned rat :)

Well done on completing w4r1

Congrats! I did the same run yesterday, found the 2nd 5 mins tough and had to stop briefly to jump out of the way of a tractor!! I'm still counting it as a completed tho as its only run 1?! Keep going :) x

I am not counting - all I will say is that our springer spaniel was practically begging to go home after the last lap!!! :)
