Week 4 run 1

A little surprised to hear "2 x 5 minute runs" before I'd done the warm up. I had to do it in the middle of the heat of the day too because of a docs appointment later. I couldn't believe it, I did the whole thing without a problem. Not even an ache!!! I actually started crying with pride afterwards on the cool down walk. If someone had told me 4 weeks ago I'd do a 16 min jog in half an hour I'd have died laughing. Was 57 on Sunday too. Chuffed to bits. Yaaay

A belated happy birthday to you. Great run (jog) sounds like you're getting on top of this! I'm still shuffling, aspiring to a jog. :)

There isn't anything Oldfloss says that is wrong.... except maybe her cartwheeling on ice running. Everything else spot on!

Aww, thanks guys. To be honest, if someone was walking beside me they'd have beaten me in a race. Slowly really is the key. Lol.
