About to start week 6: week 5 was a bit of a shock and I am now seriously into 'mind over matter'. I used to run a bit a few years ago - did a half marathon in 2002. But I am now 55 and weigh 2 stone heavier, I went right back to the very beginning with the couch to 5k. To run 60 seconds had me almost screaming at Laura to call time!! Yet, here I am, staring week 6 in the face! I feel great at the end of each run but have a huge fear-factor regarding pain and failure so have a mind battle going on. My body is holding up very well considering . . .much looking forward to lighter evenings and Park Runs.
