Well another in the can. As my route takes me past the surgery, Old folks home and the village cemetery and can honestly say that since I have been on the programme i am getting further away from each one as the runs progress. As Laura said this week is more mental an element of I can do this comes into play plus the support of the members of this forum. So on to W5r3 can't believe it has come round so fast.

It's amazing how fast it goes, isn't it? Well done on your progress, I find it useful to have visual cues on increasing distance.

Wow... distancing yourself physically and mentally! I love it.:)

Well done you, it is fantastic how quickly we begin to appreciate the benefits of this amazing programme!

Check out ju-ju- ' s post on the unexpected benefits of running... it makes for great reading!

Onward and upward, steady and slow... you are getting there:)

When I started this I found it quite amusing as my 5 minute walk put me by the Docs and the 60 seconds put me by the old folks home and finally 90 seconds later I was by the cemetery so if I had any dramas I was close to any help I needed.

Well done! You're doing great!! :)

Ha ha, running past em singing "one foot in the grave" 😊 Yep, this running lark will get you in the shape of your life. Just keep going steadily, stoically, slowly but surely to week 9

Have fun ☺
