The road to fitness!

[cpdavis]

Hello! I am a first year maths and astrophysics student at Kings and I want to actually get fit I've started the challenge today and it was okay. I want to aim to get to 10K by October. In addition, I've also lost 1 pound this week but I really want to loose more. I started the Week 1 today and it went okay. But want to complete this 9 week challenge

Thank you! Today I wasn't going to go out as it was about to pour with rain, but said that I will have an excuse for everything and therefore would never do it. Thanks again!

Te he - I managed to get through the whole 9 weeks without running in the rain - but finally did so yesterday and loved it!! To be honest, we need to get used to it.....

Anyway welcome and good luck on C25K!!! (sorry I am having awful visions of Big Bang Theory reading your post.... apologies if everyone says that)

i let rain stop me for about 3 days, then after a trip to sports direct i picked up some very cheap waterproofs, so no excuse anymore!

I've gone from hating the rain to loving it. I tune out the world and concentrate on my playlist so before I know it my run is done.

What a great start! You will probably find that it is the lovely hot sunny days that present the biggest challenge - once you are out there, but going out in the rain on your first time shows you are made of the right stuff for C25K.

Hi and welcome to c25k You'll soon become an addict and go out in all weathers, My fave running weather is the rain, keeps me cool and not too many people about to point and laugh!!
