Week 4, run 1....Wow guys, I did it!!! I really didn't think I would, but I was quite surprised when i got to 4 minutes and she said, keep going, just 60 seconds!! Good job it was dark, cos the grin on my face was probably a picture. Lol. Thanks for your support guys, I'm the worlds worst for doubting my ability!! I reckon I'll nail this though, yaaaay!!!!

Thanks misswobble!! I'm actually starting to enjoy it, and I'm not in too much pain today either!! Tops of legs are a bit achy, but nothing major. X

Thanks Elfe5, it's going to be slowly, slowly, I don't want to undo the good I'm doing by getting too overzealous!!! After all its only about 17 weeks since I had my operation!! X
