So I'm trying yet again to complete the transformation from Couch Potato - in the past I've always given up after a couple of weeks, or repeated Week 1 over and over (a propos of which I really appreciated being reassured by other members at the time that they too had needed to repeat runs - that made me feel much less of a wimp). Anyway back to the subject - I'm semi retired now so I can no longer use the 'I'm too busy' excuse and so off I go again. And this time to my astonishment I'm up to Week 4! Now I know to many of you that's child's play but to me it's a Really Big Deal. When I looked at the run this morning I immediately thought 'I'll never be able to keep going for 5 minutes' I mean a while back I couldn't even manage 1! But I did, and I can, and I will. I am pleased as punch and wanted to share in the hope that it might encourage others who have struggled.
PS. I was overtaken by a couple of snails on the way but who cares, I'm in no hurry

You are doing brilliantly. I can remember doing week 4 and it felt really tough at the time. In fact I did it twice as I had to restart the programme after getting to week 8 and then having time on the injury couch following surgery. I'm really impressed with your perseverance, and who cares if you're overtaken by the odd snail. They will get their come-uppance later I'm sure.
