Six weeks ago, I couldn't run. More than that, I WOULDN'T run.
I've always had problems with my ankles since I spent much of my childhood with various plaster casts on my feet. I sort of got it into my head then that I couldn't run, because my ankles weren't strong enough.
So when I decided to make a change and take up the C25K plan, it wasn't just taking up exercise, it was getting over my own prejudices. I won't lie, it was really difficult when I started, but now I'm actually enjoying it. I look forward to getting out there and pushing myself. It is still hard, but the sense of achievement when I get through it is amazing.
I've lost weight (down 8 pounds so far) and still going!!
I do really think I have been my own worst enemy, but now I am determined to be my best ally.
