Week 3 run today

Well, I started this in January and it's taken me 4 1/2 months to get here. I was stuck on Week 1 til March, and it seems I am about to finally clear week 3!

It's pretty sad it took me this long, but the doctor diagnosed me with chronic fatigue (I take it to mean he cant be bothered to work out whats wrong with me :/) , so under the circumstances I'm pretty pleased with myself.

I feel like I can do this, wish me luck!

Fair play to you. You're nearly 1/3 of the way to graduating. You don't need luck, when you've got such a positive attitude.

well done you! I have chronic fatigue associated with fibro, so I know how tough it is. Do you feel like any of the symptoms are improving for you at all?

My step-daughter has chronic fatigue so I am amazed that you are even trying this. Well done you, keep going whenever you can, slow and steady. Best of luck. It doesn't matter how long you take, it's just about you and your progress.

Wow, well done for keeping going, even while coping with CFS - I think going very slowly is a very wise move :)

Ive done it and continue to run with MS and the fatigue associated with that. It actually seems to help, whatever the docs say ...!
