On the IC after W1R1

Back in December, after seeing the runner's high that I get (but am mostly unaware of), Mrs Monday decided to give C25k a go.

We had planned to start in December but, on the day we'd agreed to start, the dog took a turn for the worse so she was looking after him. After that it was Christmas and then icy conditions so I suggested waiting 'till March when I reckoned the weather would be better.

Anyhow, we went out for the first run last Monday. She took it really slowly and everything went well. The forecast for Wednesday was a bit grotty so I suggested doing W1R2 today (Thursday). Thing is, she’s started making jewellery out of beads and wire. Around lunchtime she managed to step on an end of wire sticking up out of the carpet. Seems it’s not done any serious damage but she won’t be able to run for a while.

This is a very slow start.

Hopefully! Still, she's not given up.

Good idea! I'll see what she thinks.

I did nearly 3 weeks of Week 1 before progressing through the programme.

Take it easy! It will still be there for her when she's ready!
