Much better conditions today. Managed and enjoyed the 28 mins today avoiding the snails!. Covered 4.45 km but on a much flatter route than normal as at my parents. Feeling like I might actually complete the program in next couple of weeks !

Well done this running lark is addictive isn’t it?
It really is!!! I couldn't wait for this morning to try a new route.
New routes are good I’m glad you are still enjoying running, i can’t believe i am still going
You are doing amazingly! I always read your posts and think how well you are doing x

Well done hope the confidence to do it continues. My W8 starts tomorrow. I'm just about 4k now so your 4.5k encourages me. Good luck

YESSS! What a fab distance you covered too! Of course you'll finish the programme, why wouldn't you? Well done, you're doing brilliantly.
Truthfully ...I had no confidence in my ability to do anything at the beginning of this. My self belief was at an all time low and I felt I was rubbish at everything I did. I only started so that I had something to drag myself out of the house for and it was something I could do on my own without having to talk to anyone or be around lots of people.
Well then you are even more amazing than you realise. This comes from someone who's self esteem was at an all time low at the end of May, so I know where you're coming from. Believing in yourself is not easy, but we have to, because we ARE amazing, we ARE good at things and we CAN do the things we didn't think we could. Look how far you've come, in January this year did you think you'd be able to run for 25 Minutes? I know I didn't. But we got out there and tried it anyway.
Lettingyourself feel that you "can't" only hurts you in the long run. You can. And you have.
Chin up, you're a runner and you're amazing.x
Thankyou so much. In January I was struggling with all aspects of life and was basically a walking zombie. So no you are right I really didn't think or even dream I would be running now. Today I went and bought some new leggings. Still couldn't bring myself to buy the bright jazzy coloured that I would have loved but actually tried them on!! Settled on some more black ones with a touch of blue rather than all black as usual!
That's a great start! Next time, buy the jazzy ones. You'll rock them.
You've come so far since January, to drag yourself from the grip of the black dog is HARD.
Thank you so much for your support. I have said it before on here there truly is a little bit of magic about this program and forum xx
You are 100% right there!
