W2R3 and a strange feeling.....enjoyment!!!

[LondonKel]

Well I've completed week 2 and I hope I'm not getting too confident but actually found it very manageable and easier than week 1 bizarrely.

I've been feeling good this week but after having "words" with the husband today (!), I was in a very bad mood this evening. Knowing how much of this is mental I really didn't feel in a good frame of mind to run but my sister came to run with me again so had no chance of ducking out.

I started off ok and actually lost track of how many runs I'd done (normally I focus on how many left) but I think I felt so comfortable that I realised I had enough in the tank however many were left. Afterwards I had a real "high" moment at having completed it which has lasted and restored happiness in our house!

I hope I've not peaked too soon but ready for week 3 now and actually feeling good at attempting double the time on some of the runs.

Who'd have thought such a change in mindset and fitness in 2 weeks - amazing!!!

This programme is as much as emotional and mental well being as it is about physical health, I feel. I'm always in a better, more positive frame of mind after my run as is my (sometime grumpy) husband! Best wishes.

Brilliant! Even if you have some rubbish runs now, you KNOW that you can enjoy it, and that counts for so much! Lovely blog! (and glad you're on speaking terms again with your husband!)
