I’ve started to run now – who would believe?!

The couch to 5K App, but it’s not such a breeze

I’ve followed the training and progressed with each run,

But to be honest I can’t really say it’s been fun

It’s supposed to get easier, but all that I know

Is that I keep being overtaken ‘cos I’m going so slow!

My legs feel so heavy and my calves really scream

But you know what – I’m fitter now than I’ve ever been!

I’m up to week 9 now with just one run left

So, the question is, what am I going to do next?

Well, I’ll keep on with the running and work on my pace

And maybe one day I’ll even enter a race!

So to all of you out there who need a fresh plan

If I can achieve this, then anyone can!
