Week 4

Well I did week 1 last week on Thursday but due to life couldnt get run week 2 until last night.

OMG running for five minutes, this had me more scared than most things at work. It was tough and I really wanted to stop. I took lauras advice and slowed down a bit on the second set and got through it.

I felt great after that, completing it seemed to get rid of the aches and pains I had while running. :)

Week 2 last night was still quite tough but felt a bit better. I started out a bit slower but kept the same pace (as much as possible) through it all.

Just cannot believe I am actually running/jogging/lumbering for 16 minutes.

Oh and a weight loss update, as of Friday, I am at 21 stone, 2 stone down from my starting weight in April.

I feel so much better I can walk around without getting out of breath, actually go up stairs. I have a pretty good walking pace now too :)

Thanks for the support here, it really helps. Nice to have someone to share all this with.

It's amazing isn't it? It feels really good to be able to walk around and up stairs with a quick recovery. Well done ;)

Fantastic! You must be very proud. It doesn't matter how you cover the distance, mine is more of a shuffle! Good luck! :)
