Just finished run 3 of the first week and am absolutely buzzing (not sure that the Midlands is ready for an overweight, 55 yr old, red faced, sweaty woman singing Bon Jovi on her walk home but it was close, it was close).
I say 'officially' because I did some practice runs last week before I took Laura with me. Turns out my 60 seconds counting were longer than hers, which is nice and it was so much easier without having to count. There were some tough 60 seconds but there were also some absolute joys - although, to be fair not 60 seconds worth... To everyone who struggles with their early runs: stick with it, it gets easier (having said that no doubt I'll be back next week yelling "this sucks, this sucks, this sucks")
A little nervous about next week but I guess I just have to keep on running.
Have a great week-end.

Too true - there are loads of us 50 somethings terrorising our neighbourhoods with our wobbly bits and red faces. People of a nervous disposition should just look away until the danger has passed.
