...25 MINUTES! AND "the HILL"....lol....and then another hill...at 23 minutes and counting!

I am just amazed at how WELL this programme works....at week 1 I was worried, but figured I'd just repeat until I could go on...but I've never had to...this is soooo well thought out....push, recover, push a little harder, and the first thing you know, "You are a runner!"

Can you see me smiling?

I'm about to do wk 6 run 3 tomorrow and six weeks ago had never run.

I'm glad to hear you have done it and tomorrow I too will have that feeling I have had after virtually every run on this programme; I believe it's called JOY !!

Well done, I know what you're feeling (well almost) and keep going.

Good luck and thanks for the post, I'm excited about tomorrow now !!!

Andy.

Yes, I was smiling (or maybe that was a grimace, lol) MOST of the way today...until I turned the last corner and glanced at my watch and realized 25 minutes was going to take in the quarter-mile (.4 k) hill up to home, which usually is my 5 minute cool down walk...going to have to add some to my "course"....lol (and doesn't THAT sound good!)

Hoorah to you! It's a brillant programme - I have never run before. The first minute was horrendous but boy am I glad I carried on. And I understand andychops comment about joy - it's almost meditative.
