Run for 30 minutes!

[tortoisegirl]

I have just got in from running W9R1 and I still can't quite believe that I ran for 30 minutes! I would have laughed I disbelief if anyone had told me three months ago. This programme really does work! Roll on graduation!

Well done on starting! This forum is brilliant for support.

[RobD Graduate]

Even though I have just done week 7 I'm still trying to convince myself that wk9 will be ok .. well done to you

[tortoisegirl Graduate in reply to RobD]

You'll be fine! Weeks 8 and 9 build on what you've aleady achieved. Those extra three minutes in week 7 are only 180 seconds!

[RobD Graduate in reply to tortoisegirl]

I'm actually looking forward to the next two weeks, week 8 starts on Sunday for me .. I have been running every other day for the 7 weeks so far, apart from 1 day .. just can't not run .. missing every other day I am longing for the next run !! I just x my fingers nothing goes wrong between now and graduation

[tortoisegirl Graduate in reply to RobD]

Sounds like you're addicted! I think I am too...I never thought I would enjoy running as it's been years since I even ran for a bus! I've had a two day break now so I can run with my daughter tomorrow, and this morning I took myself for a brisk walk, which for me isn't much slower than a run!

[RobD Graduate in reply to tortoisegirl]

It's been a very long time since I have enjoyed anything as much as I enjoy the feeling when I complete a run .. makes me smile just thinking about it ! I'm hoping to find a runner who is at a similar level to me to run with after graduation.
