w1r2 - Nervous start but I did it!

[NatG]

Firstly, a big thank you for all the warm welcomes and words of reassurance on my first post - what a wonderful community this is to be a part of!

I think it must have been the novelty factor, plus the advantage of facing the unknown, that got me out of the door for run one. However, following the horrible feelings I had after it, I was reallllly nervous about setting out on run 2. Would my aching knees and ankles last out? Could I really run for 8 one minute intervals again, or was that beginners luck? Would I get a repeat of the shivers? Would my chest break into another 45 minute coughing fit when I got home? Would my head thump like hell and my face look like a beetroot again?

Well.....amazingly my legs and ankles were fine. For the second time, despite my utter disbelief, I managed the whole podcast, running for a whole minute each time (remember I'm a fat exercise-phobe!!) Wow! And no weird dizzy/coughing/shivery business when I got home either.

Amazing. Seriously!

Still a tad nervous, but mostly looking forward to w1r3 - bring it on!!

[NatG]

Thank you everyone for your support! Your lovely comments have put a massive grin on my face

[Deryn61 Graduate]

Well done, from a fellow fat (although not quite so fat now!) former exercise phobe x

congratulations well done for getting out for the second one. it's my third one tomorrow. don't think i'll be going onto week two just yet though...

Good for you on your first two runs. I can understand the fear and physical challenge. It's clear though, that you have been working hard on your health for quite a while, and I am confident that you will succeed at this too.

Thank you all, I must say it' s only two runs, and the very first week, but I am glad and proud of myself for starting this! Bit scared of the weather today though, I hope it doesn't put me off run 3 tonight!!
