Busy two weeks at work - so only managed yesterday to do week 4 run 3 - now enjoying weekend rest. Planning to repeat week 4 this week and for once looking forward to it. Who would have thought it

Think you're wise to repeat W4 parkbirdy. I chose to repeat a couple of runs in my journey to W8 (who'd have thought it!) and think it did it me good. Peeing down here and am keen to get out to do run 2 but although I'm keen I'm not completely daft! Good luck for the rest of the programme.

haven't had to face a really wet run yet - but with the weather as it is I know i can't dodge the showers for much longer. Last run I got a few sympathetic /encouraging smiles from people walking in the park. Oh dear - i think i was the same colour as my bright pink t shirt.

good luck for the next run - you're almost there. I'm hoping to do a park run before christmas

I repeated most weeks, parkbirdy, so don't worry - I was stronger for it and I got there in the end! Enjoy your running.

that's really helpful and encouraging. After an injury earlier this year that meant having to abandon my first attempt I'm taking it slowly -on the grounds that even if it takes me 13/14 weeks it will be a triumph! I don't want to give up if suddenly one week it's hard to do enough runs, but at least hold my progress until I can step up
