Week 3......It's all in the mind!

[2011Kezza]

Week 2 went great without any problems. New running blister socks were a success and no more motion sickness on the treadmill. Did my first week 3 run last night and despite my reservations on whether id be able to do it, i did it and enjoyed it!! I've now realised that run for 3 minutes sounded far to scary so i told myself it was only 180 seconds and that seemed allot better - so i now I know it's just mind over matter and i can do this.......uh oh just had a sneaky peek at week 4 gulp ;o)

Well done, Kez. Just think how you felt about running for 3 minutes and you nailed that as you will with your next run. The running socks are great- one of the first things I bought when I started C25K and worth every penny.

It certainly is.

Brilliant that you can say you enjoyed it too! That's the way to do it!

Just take it slow, don't clock watch and concentrate on your breathing and the music. You can do it!!!!
