W1R3 Complete

[Hedges]

Well, I'm not going to lie, this week felt like it was never going to end. I don't know if that's because I had the week off from work or if it was down to the running, or a combination of both, but I felt myself both dreading and being excited by the prospect of each run and that combination seemed to make the time really drag.

What about the actual running I hear you ask? (In my head you're asking, a lot of stuff happens in my head...)

Well, I managed them. Not particularly gracefully, and a lot more huffing and puffing than I was expecting, but I got to the end. I also started eating more healthy (I got a healthy eating cook book and everything) and have been trying to maintain that as well. I really do like food too much, only a week in and I'm already struggling!

Oh well - I have a couple of night shifts ahead of me now so I'll be picking up Week 2 on Tuesday. Hoping that will be slightly easier. Probably not.

Stick with it hedges. You'll look back in a couple of weeks amazed at your achievements.

If you have to repeat, don't worry, do whatever you need to do.

This really is a great programme and, as unbelievable as it seems when you first start, really does work.

Well done. Week 1 is so hard, physically and mentally.

Making yourself do something for a long term gain but with short term inconvenience is really difficult. But once the first week is out of the way it gets easier to maintain.

Good luck with week 2

Well done, week one under your belt!

Slow right down if you find yourself huffing and puffing too much, but keep going, you're on the right track

Just getting up, going out there, and setting off on Week 1 Run 1 is probably the hardest step of all. Now you're ready for Week 2 if you're not hurting too badly. (I think I might have started with the back pain I used to have even by my first attempt at Week 2; and in that case it would've been wiser to hang around on Week 1, while doing core strength exercises for a while.) If you're OK, you move on, and see if you surprise yourself. I think at some point you'll surprise yourself, and from then on there's a sense in which you could say it's getting easier. (But careful of complacency).

Oh, and well done. You got started, you stuck to it, you've done more than 90% of the world ever does already.
