Week 2 health hurdles conquered - week 2 complete!

[Pepper86]

So after the high of completing week 1, on the day of week 2 first run my pain condition decided to play up. After feeling disheartened I thought sod it, this is going to happen at times. I therefore thought I'd try run 1 and see how I go as anything better than nothing. I managed the whole run and it didn't cause my condition to worsen. Just goes to show positive thinking and determination can help battle hurdles. I've now finished week 2 and eager to see how my body tackles week 3 as it's surprising me each week.

It's all about positive thinking. I completed Wk 8 Run 3 today - so I ran for 28 minutes. I changed my route slightly today and that help me a lot. Keep going - well done!

Well done for doing week 8 that's amazing.

Yeah - who knew. My husband is 62 years old and has never run in his life. We cannot believe that we are officially runners. You will be too!!

[Pepper86 in reply to Watermint]

Good on you both! Yeah I'm determined to keep going.

Go really slowly and drink lots of water the night before. We always drink a pint of water before we head out on the run, then another pint when we get back home. It really helps with aching muscles.
