Determined to do it this time

[Karleen]

I've started Couch to 5K three times and each time got to week 2 and then lost all of my motivation. I've entered a 5k race in mid June and this time I really want to stick with the programme and try to complete this without walking. The race is to raise money but ultimately this about getting off the couch and trying to increase my fitness. Just completed Week 1 Run 1 and feeling good. Planning to blog my progress as reading all the blogs here has helped to increase my motivation - this time I will do it!

Well done. I am the exact same as you started numerous times but hoping to do it all this time. Just did week 2 run 2 so going ok! This site is great for encouragement and motivation. Good luck

Thank you - been reading your blogs and you are doing brilliantly. Think I found run 1 not too bad because I've done it before 3 times before - week 2 will be unknown territory!

Aw thanks! I felt the same though I'd done week 1 so often it wasn't too bad haha. Week 2 is different but enjoying it!
