Another slow run today. Nice and slow. Lovely slow. Actually, maybe too slow?? At the end of it I was a bit out of sync. Laura had signed off, podcast well and truly over and Week 4's starting up - Stop! Don't want spoilers - and I was still 10 minutes walk from the car. I need to refine my turn-around spot. I was miles away (ok, technically only 0.82 miles away) from the car and guess what? I had another little jog. Unheard of. Cheating on Laura with Mrs RunKeeper, naughty. It only lasted 30 seconds Laura, it meant nothing!
In other news. Why am I not thin yet?
My primary reason for all this is to get fit... I suppose. As impossible as it seems I'd love to be able to do the 5K. That's still a distant ludicrous goal. But I thought a welcome side effect would be a not so distant or ludicrous THIN AS RAKE body. Yet I'm still precisely the same size, weight, FAT AS WHEELBARROW Jabba as I started.
Time is of the essence. I've a wedding to attend and a suit to slip into, in just 2 weeks... oh god. I could always run away.

Steve don't doubt yourself. You have come this far (and I bet you didn't think you would!). There is nothing stopping you going further apart from that crafty little mind of yours. Heres to you and me starting (and completing) wk4!!!
I'm also on week 3, run 2 today and I did exactly what you did during run 1 on Monday. I was about half a mile away and caught my breath and thought I still had some running left in me and went for it. Nothing to apologize for!! Good luck!
if you've reached week 3 there is no limit! :)You are certainly going to the end. When you start longer runs, you will buld muscle, muscle is hungry tissue and that will make you lose weight. Trust in Laura
Hi steve - well I'm on week 8 and I'm still not thin .... however I have truly started toning up, my shape has changed, and I am feeling great! I am optimistic a few lbs will drop off now I am doing longer runs. And I go slow too. The snails wave as they pass me by but apparently we can work on speed later. I am reliably told by Laura - you know, the one you cheated on So keep going and good luck for week 4!
