I finally stopped making excuses and started!

I joined this forum over a year ago and it's taken me until this week to start the C25K. I've only completed 2 of the 3 runs (No. 3 will be on Friday) but I feel really positive about it all. It was hard and I really doubted I could run for a full minute, let alone do that 8 times but I did! And I've just done it for the second time this week... Its not easy but it makes you feel great. I'm probably blowing my own trumpet a little prematurely but I feel so positive about doing run 3 and moving onto week 2.

I started eating more healthily two weeks ago and I have felt far more energetic and really think that has helped me to finally start this.

Sorry for the rambling post but I'm buzzing!

Well done on getting started! I think thats the hardest part. It's a great feeling every time you complete a new run!

The hardest part sometimes is lacing up those shoes for the first time and deciding to do it. So you did the hardest part already !

I recently found this forum and can't say enough good things about it, so stick around and post about your runs, it all helps motivate everyone else
