Well what do you know....

... my PE teacher was right, exercise really is good for you. W6R2 today, attempt number two but at least I have now done it *smiles*. I was out all day today & on the way home I just thought, I'm going to do it. Got home & quickly changed into my running gear before I could change my mind. It was lovely fresh weather and I took a new route which did necessitate a run up a hill which even walking up seems like a form of torture. Got to the top, took a deep breath & carried on - result!! The run was slow but I wanted to pace myself and persevere rather than run too fast and burn out. I started the run with a pounding headache and mother nature was, rather kindly, making herself felt with period pains - run over and headache gone thanks to the fresh air and cramps all gone too. My PE teacher really was right!! Exercise does help. Leg didn't hurt today though but I got a blister, it never rains but it pours eh? Well it does in England at least!! Lol! W6R3 tomorrow, it's all serious from here *worries*

Worry not. It is such a clever programme and seems to prepare us really well. Hills are tortuous but they definitely make us stronger. Good luck for tomorrow and keep the slow pace for stamina.

No worries, mate! You're doing great! (lol...I'm a poet)

I'm a little concerned about running on that blister...make sure it's not still "up", you may burst it, and that's never a good thing...

Sounds like you are having a fine time with your running. You're right...it does seem to sort a body out.

Enjoy!
