Week 1 Run 3 - Done!

[LadyP79]

So, Friday came and I had planned my last run of the week.

The weather was a little bit chilly but I felt pretty positive as I laced up my trainers. I put an extra layer around my neck to keep me warm and started my 5 minute brisk walk.

2 minutes in and the sun started shining. Almost like a reward to me for actually getting out and doing the 3 runs for the week.

It was hard going, I won't lie. My legs felt very heavy and at times it felt like a bit of a struggle. But I persevered until finally I heard Laura's voice telling me I had finished and to do my 5 minute brisk walk to finish. Woo Hoo!!! Week 1, Run 3 done, I actually did it. I actually completed my first week!!

I forced myself to go out even when I didn't want to, I carried on even when my legs felt like logs being lifted up and yet I'm looking forward to Week 2.

Ok, it's only week 1 and there are another 8 weeks to go, but I feel proud of my achievement last week. I can see the future when I am 'running' for half and hour and I'm eager to get there and I know this plan will help me reach my goal.

Well done...great news! I’m due to do my wk 1 run 3 today so will see how my legs feel...not going to take the dog though. As I know he’ll want to sniff everything when I need to run! Good luck! 👏🏻👏🏻

Yeay well done you!

We should be proud of our achievements, no matter how small they seem they’re big steps in the right direction!

You're right! I've done something other than sit on the couch so that's a big thing for me ☺

We'll done.

Finishing the week feels great, doesn't it?

It is definitely an achievement, building consistency and a habit.

I start week 2 tomorrow, trying to work out when to go out, as I have to work late.

[LadyP79 in reply to RobW73]

It really does. I'm actually quite excited to start week 2 ☺
