Time to start again !!!

[Si1973]

Hi All !! I completed the C25K programme before xmas and decided to give the running a break , subsequent xmas dinners and lots of beer and takeaways since then and I'm back to square one !! Im back up to 16 stone !

I've decided to give the programme another real go and have set myself a target of the end of April to be at the same stage I was before xmas.

Did W1R1 this morning and was proper out of breath on the 5 minute walk home (in the rain),, I'm hoping that this webblog/site/community will help me along the way, it looks like there are a few of us at the same stage so will be able to help each other with a few choice encouraging words when it gets a bit hard.

Good Luck all and glad to be here !!

well done Si for getting back on the horse!! so easy to fall off, not so easy to climb back on, so well done. and having already completed the programme, you KNOW you can do it, so believe in yourself.. and we'll all help you, and each other along the journey

Hi just reading all of your blogs and thinking that just maybe i can do this too. Podcasts at the ready.Preparing to start the programme tomorrow. Have hectic life as single mum of 2 teenagers with a full time job so plan to run first thing as will have a million excuses not by the end of the day. See this programme as something for me and am going hoping it will help me lose weight and lift my mood.and replace the wine! wish me luck.! You are inspiring me already!

Hi Si,

I'm just starting again too, but have started back on week 3. Have done the first two runs ok, and am feeling reasonably optimistic, but I really struggled with W5R3 last time. Hoping this time I'm in a better mental state to achieve it!
