Week One done!!!!

Well, I did it! I am estatic! I couldn't move my legs after the first two runs, but on the second rest day all my aches and pains suddenly vanished. I 'm not sure I would say I enjoy running, but I am determined to get fit and get to the 9 week final run. See you Monday after W2R1, and thanks to all of you who encouraged me to get off my backside and run!

Good weekend to you all!

best of luck. Just back from shopping (did my run at 7.30 am local time) and am shattered! But nice shattered, if you now what I mean!

Well done, DeliaItaly - brilliant achievement!

I've just completed Wk 1 too, but only doing 4-5 minutes of running, so I shall repeat it until I can do the whole 8 minutes before moving on ... I'll be right on your tail, though! ;) Good luck for Wk 2.

Good on you Valkyrie, I can see you from over my shoulder. All the best, as Laura says "You can do it!"

Congratulations on completing week 1, not long now until you're hooked. Enjoy :-)

Thanks a million Phil72 ! when I graduate I'm considering translating the program into Italian then C25K could go international ;-)

Anyhow, I'm working in Berlin for Week 4 -- what do you do when life gets in the way like that? Run round the streets of Berlin at dawn? Along the wall? Or just cross that bridge when I get to it?

in reply toDeliaItaly

Get on the Internet mapmyrun.com or similar and find somewhere to run. From what I remember from visiting Berlin it is pretty flat, Enjoy running in a foreign city....Exciting!
