Simply O M G!!

Well I never thought in a million years I would be typing this let alone looking forward to the next few weeks!!! I have gone from not even being able to run 60secs due to chronic shin splints (amazing trainers purchased) which I have suffered with for years to running week 8 run 2 this morning!! OMG what an amazing programme and I have told so many people to do it. Yes i've hit the usual hurdles of the 'toxic 10', 'no way can I ever run 30 mins' , cant be generally bothered etc etc but something has kept me going and kicking me out of bed at 615 before I start work . And now I know that I WILL complete this challenge and will continue to run and improve my time. Nope i'm not the fastest but every time I have run the allotted time and been so proud that I haven't given up or cheated myself. Just needed a little 'chuffed' time, good luck everyone on this incredible journey.
