[saphxx]

wow, after spending the last 2 days, s******g a brick about starting week 2, i did the first run and at 1 point I thought i couldnt do it but then i told myself, i got through week 1 i can do it again and i did it, so as a reward i ordered myself some new running shoes, eek so excited. random question but what does IC stand for, I have seen it used loads on here. x

Injury Couch... may you never have to get onto it Although, if you are Newbie_no-more_Pam , she had a really lovely Ic in a B and B somewhere!!!!

Very well done you for getting this far...keep steady and slowly does it.

New shoes...heck.. you have to post a pikkie... the folks will tell you.. them's the rules!!!

I have just been admiring Pushing60 's new shoes... very sassy!

[saphxx in reply to Oldfloss]

why? was she on holiday or something?

Are Pushing60's bright pink?

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to saphxx]

She was.. and the IC looked so lovely and comfy.. with a glass of red wine too!

Yes.... PINK!!! Loving it... I go for the funky stuff, despite my advanced age...

[saphxx in reply to Oldfloss]

Maybe an excuse to get on the IC

They do look very funky and comfy, ha you are only as young as you feel, i think thats the saying

I'm on week 8, I didn't know what IC was either and kept forgetting to ask

Well done for getting week 2 started, each week feels intimidating, but it's a good programme and you'll surprise yourself.

It definetly is, today kind of just felt like w1r1 hard but achievable so hopefully, w2r2 will slightly better. It gives you something to focus on.

A great reward for hard work so far well done ☺

[saphxx in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, definitely a necessity aswell as a reward, ive been running in my old and battered non padded trainers with fashionable holes in, so even if the new ones arent brill, they will still be better

Wow, well done on going for it, despite your doubts - I hope your new running shoes arrive soon and you take a photo for us all to admire!

[saphxx in reply to LessToLose]

thank you, i am pleased as punch me too my others are definitely giving me knee pain now. I have been told its a rule to post a pic of new shoes and im not a rule breaker what week are you on?

[LessToLose Graduate in reply to saphxx]

I really hope the new shoes help - they usually do and I am looking forward to seeing them.

Much to my amazement, I am on week 9 - I do my last run of the programme on Sunday - it has taken me a while to get through!

[saphxx in reply to LessToLose]

yay well done, how long did it take you? doesnt really matter though as you got there and thats what counts. I bet you are very proud of yourself, I know I would be.

[LessToLose Graduate in reply to saphxx]

Thanks, it took me a lot longer to get through the first two weeks as I needed more rest days between sessions, but since then, I have caught up and think it is about 9 weeks since I started.

My first w2r1 was today as well, I thought it was very similar to w1r1 in effort, and getting to a hill on the 3rd run segment was not fun. I too will be treating myself if I complete w2 (then w4, w6, w8 with something special for w9 I think) It keeps me motivated.
