Run 3 done, wasn't as hard as I anticipated, not easy had to slow a bit 3/4 through bug made it. How good do I feel. That is the longest I have run since January 92 when I suffered a major catastrophic effect which involved two days in hospital, a ditch on Salisbury plain and an anaphylatic shock and started the end of my time in the forces.

I feel bloody fantastic at doing completing this stage, I can only think my endorphins will be in over drive big time in four weeks time.

This plan works.

How fantastic!! I'm only just entering week 3 and reading your words is very encouraging. I'm lovin those endorphin's too and as I've given up drinking also I find the good mood bug from a run is really helping.

I cut back on my wine as well, now find that I don't enjoy it as much as I used too, may as well just cut it out altogether. Stop-tober is just around the corner so I will give it a ho. I think.

I can see the grin from here.

Great progress.

Read some W6R1 posts. It looks easy and often trips people up.

Keep running, keep smiling.
