Progressing slowly

Well I'm still here and progressing slowly. I did W2R3 last Saturday, a very blustery day so I didn't enjoy that too much. I went to a quilting show on Sunday and walked around all day so I did W3R1on Tuesday instead of Monday to give myself a chance and was amazed that I managed 3 minutes, and this morning I have done W3R2. I'm not sure about Laura's music, not at all to my taste, but I do like her encouragement, it always seems to come just at the right time.

Slow and steady wins the race, roundbutsound . So after your next run, you'll have already re-done a third of the C25k program.

I don't mind rain or snow, but running in wind is ...character building. Just like having to listen to that music.

If there's such a thing as an NHS disco (!) I don't want to be invited. :)

Laura's podcast music is pretty sad but it has the right beat and as you say her little bits of advice and inspiration do help. If you really can't get through 7 weeks of torturous sound, there is an app you can download and listen to your own music, you won't get Laura's tips though. Decisions, decisions.....

Thanks Slowstart but I'm not at all technically minded so I'll stick with Laura and her challenging tunes.
