Hi everyone! I did W2R1 this morning and it was BRILLIANT!!! I felt great for the whole time and didnt really want it to end - how very sad!! So pleased with my progess and cant wait to get out again on Tuesday!! Starting to get some sponsorship for the 5K run in May so its great that everyone believes in me too! Hope everyone else is feeling cheery today xx

Yay, yes it was a beautiful morning as I did my first run for wk 3. So, not very far ahead of you and currently enjoying how I feel this week compared with two weeks ago. The scheme is amazing - only have to read all the 'graduate blogs' to know that! All the best Kate - for the next few weeks and the May challenge. Keep smiling :)

Thanks, and you too!! What does week 3 bring, 2 min runs or more?

5 mins warm up, *90 sec run, 90 sec walk, 3 min run*, 3 min walk then back from * to * to repeat once more before walking warm down. Recall very well gasping and not completing the 60 sec runs early in week one...... Then out came the sun today and 3 mins seemed damned fine, OK, a bit of a breeze! :) I don't make a point of discovering what's on the agenda in the weeks ahead ... Will find out as and when the time is right ... But several blogs on here give clues ;). All the best to you whichever route you take. Linda

What a lovely, sunny blog! Sunshine does seem to make it all more fun, doesn't it? :)
