Week 7 Run 1 - Done!!

[LadyP79]

Ok, so I may have skipped the last run of week 6. I figure now though for the whole of week 7 it's 25 minutes so let's give it a bash and see what happens.

25 minutes happens!! It was great. So much better than my last run. I felt hot and sticky after it but chuffed.

I'm also amazed at how much further I have to go to get my run in as well. When I think back to 6 weeks ago and how far I was going for that first week and wishing it could be over to now. It's certainly eye opening.

I'm starting to feel better about myself as well. I want to eat healthily again and I want to drink more water (I don't really like water, it's boring). I'm walking a bit taller and I stand a little straighter.

This plan is giving me back my confidence and I find myself wanting to go out for a bit of a run. I've even found myself thinking about what I can do when I finish the plan to improve my running.

I'm still not fast and gazelle like, but I don't care. I'm still doing it and that's the main thing.

Happy face ticked on the app 😊

Fantastic well done 👍I know what you mean I'm convinced I even walk different now 😁 feel like Travolta or maybe that should be Marty

Well done!

....and yes absolutely re the walking bit, often feels like I am walking on air! And I've noticed I am now always happy to break into a short run (like today, when it was pouring with rain when I got out of the car) without a second thought, whereas previously that was some kind of big deal. All good

Great P, well done.

It is a great feeling to realise how far we've come and are going each time we head out.
