Lol ... we know exactly what you mean. :)

Who would have thought you would be happy to run for longer than you did last week.. it gets better and better.

Well done and keep going you are doing brilliantly. :)

Thanks Jan, my legs were aching by the end & I dread to think what my face looked like as I was pulling some right faces doing the 5 minute walk (cool down) back home hahaha :) x

I know.. hands on hips puffing and blowing.. :)

make sure you drink plenty of water afterwards and most of us do some stretches afterwards to help our leg muscles after the cool down walk.

Lol my first run comes to mind.. sixty seconds was a killer ... I had took a route I thought would be ok for first run but hadn't thought the slight incline would matter.. how wrong but on way there was a street that was flat.. friendly.. Lol so I snail paced painted..grunted up and down till on the last bit noticed I had passed the same car three or four times.. and to my horror there were three young men sat in it.. I'm sure they were stifiling thier laugh!! I now avoid that street. Lol
