I want to write it here, to have it oit in the world.

I am back to square one and I am starting from scratch again. In my plans W1R1 today. Let's hope I will have enough willpower and health to graduate this time without many delays and any break longer than 1 week.

Keep your fingers crossed.

To fulfil my task today, I'm going to put my gear up NOW without any more delay or hesitation.

Cheers to all of us!

Good luck. You can do it, just stay positive. 😉

Yes, you've told us now, no backing out! I look forward to hearing about your run :)

I'm on my way back from the run, keeping the brisk walk for a little longer ;)

I thought it will be easier, as I managed to do W5R3 in not so long past. The first couple of runs were easy, but it was harder and harder each run. I was probably running a little faster than before and much faster brisk walks in between. But...

I DID IT!!! :D

Now, doing it consistently is my challange.

I deserved a nice shower and a snack ;)

I love you Oldfloss , you are my hero :) I bet you would (will?) appear on my doorstep in running gear saying: "OK Iga, and now, off you go!" chasing​ me with words "SLOW, God damn you, SLOW and steady" :)

I will get back to slow and steady, when runs will get a little longer again ;) Now, I need to get used to going out for a run every other day, not only everyday walk with dog. I'm in process of training her into running, so no pulling or sniffing around on special green running leash :) so hopefully she will be my running partner kicking me out of the door with this big happy smile on her face :D

Thanks :) today a rest day and tomorrow next run :)

I'm struggling not to go run today, as it is nice weather and I feel good and rested after yesterday. But I know I should rest. Maybe I'll do some strength exercises at home or even better in the garden instead.

I think I overdid a litle with yoga yesterday and I am quite sore. It will be a challenge to run today, especially that the weather is not ao nice anymore :P
