Well done- a great start! I'm only a week ahead of you but I found that it does seem to get easier during week 1! Hope you felt as proud of yourself as I did :)

Well done :)

Hardest part is getting started and run 1 is very, very testing.

My dog has been with me every plod through the programme, great incentive to go out when you have to take them anyway!

Good luck, keep going - and slow and steady is to be your mantra :)

yeah well done you!  My first ever 'run' was a disaster - I managed only FORTY SECONDS of actually 'running' - I felt so ashamed of myself!  I'm doing much, much better now - can't believe it really - so keep going you and the dog are definitely gonna get there!
