Week one in the bag!

I'm a teeny tiny bit chuffed with myself tonight. Oh OK, I'm actually super duper chuffed with myself.

I've just finished run 3 of week one today and I'm actually relatively unscathed 🤔. In fact I have surprised myself because I felt that I could have run for longer than the 60 seconds which is something I couldn't have done at the beginning of the week. I wasn't even watching to see when the runs were due to end. That is a first for me. Ever. I'm also a little concerned that I am looking forward to starting week two. This is not who I am! 😂

Wait until you have done 20 minutes. I never thought I would do it but I wanted to punch the air.

Yay! Congrats! I've just started week 5 and it's shocking how it really does build up stamina. You should be chuffed it's a hell of an achievement! Keep it up, you're doing great!

You’re changing... you’re going to amaze yourself a lot of times until you work out that you’re actually awesome. Great job out there... hardest week is done. Enjoy week 2.
