Well done. It feels great (when it's over), doesn't it?

[Catherine23 in reply to LordLuton]

I'm feeling really great 💜 going to do run 2 Friday already excited the weather is beautiful as well which makes it a very pleasant experience. Was going to go gym and do it on treadmill but thought not while it's this nice x

You're going to love this programme. You'll be outdoors, getting fit and (depending on diet), lean too.

In less than two months, you could do a park run. That'll put a big smile on your face that'll last all weekend.

Well done! And the nice thing is - if you are like so many of us, that wonderful feeling occurs many more times even as we run more often

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Catherine23]

It is Storming here again. I cannot go running for the umpteenth day. Cabin fever looming...but your cheerful post put a smile on my face and now you're response has reminded me to cheer up because there will be many such days in the future when this rain and lightening inevitably recedes Thank you

[Catherine23 in reply to Irish-John]

Ohhhh cabin fever is awful I have a few weeks of that coming as my little girl is having open heart surgery I am trying to make a plan so I cans get out a little when she is home from hospital but the week she is in hospital there is nothing I can x

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Catherine23]

[Catherine23 in reply to Irish-John]

My little rosie is going to be fine I know it and I just need to keep my head together and having a goal of 5 k is making a massive difference to me xx
