Always good to reward yourself, mine was a glass of wine after 20 mins, new rain jacket at 28 mins and new trainers at graduation.

rewards keep you going!

I was buying a Garmin watch by week 7 as a reward :)

I got myself a little running watch after week 4 as I felt that I was really going to actually do it and not just give up like I usually do. It's been really motivating seeing my speed and distance. I did the 20 minute run last night and was cold and hungry - when I got home my partner had cooked me a huge plate of spag bol (vegetarian style, beautiful). That was a perfect reward and I have been on a lovely high ever since.

Oh yes, certainly did reward myself. Anyone checking my browser history would assume I have a fetish for all things lycra, fluorescent and reflective. Come to think of it, maybe I do :-/

Have also persuaded my husband that I'm definitely in need of a Garmin Forerunner for my birthday in July :-)

Pedicure - reward for my poor feet. Fingers crossed a Garmin will be mine in a few days when I finish week 6 & Laura tells me I'm a runner!

I seem to remember treating myself to a fifteen minute lie down flat on my face on the hall carpet!

Haa Haa Greg! I treated myself to a new pair of capris after week 6 and after graduation a new running top! I like incentives!
