O M G I did it, week 4 run 1 in the bag.

I am such a wally, technically my week 4 doesn't start until Sunday and such was my anxiety that I went today to see if I could do it. What is wrong with me, maybe I will now properly trust the programme and there is a little voice in my head that says "maybe you can do this". I had properly convinced myself that I would be missing the last 5 minute run off the end this week.

I have never been able to run in all my life, I didn't even worry about the people wandering around with their push chairs at the park I was running in. Normally I think people will pitty me when I stop cos im panting, but this time I knew I was going to shuffle past them. Hooray, maybe this is the turning point.

The first 3 minutes were fine, then the 5 seemed a bit long the thing that was most in my mind was my tired legs. When I started to walk they felt really heavy and I felt like I was dragging them along. But they recovered for the next 3 minute run. Then you only get 90 seconds recovery before another 5 minutes run. I didn't think this was going to be enough, but yes it was. Laura tells you when you are half way and I decided that yes I could go on further. Then she tells you, you have 1 minute left and you know you can do that. And at that point you think wow I'm going to make it. Amazing, so happy. And so gratefully to all the support out there. This is life changing.

Mrs lazy you are going to have to start trusting the 'I can do this voice' as you certainly can do it! It's an amazing feeling, knowing how far your body has come in four weeks.. The next four will be just as amazing!
