I'm a runner! Again! :-)

So last night was the dreaded week 6 run 3 in my second time through the programme. Although by now I KNEW I could do it, it was hard to actually BELIEVE I could.

I was tired yesterday, and frankly, the only thing that got me into my running kit and out of the door at all was knowing that Laura would tell me I was now a 'proper runner' at the end of the podcast, and the memory of how amazing that made me feel last time around.

I did indeed manage it (as Laura knew I would all along, of course), and at the end of the podcast I waited and waited to hear her say those words ' I'd say you're now a proper runner!' Despite knowing exactly what was coming, I still couldn't help a massive 'YESSSSS!' and punching the air (much to the confusion of a coupl of passers by...)

This programme is just brilliant! It keeps on going, and Laura is once more my new BFF!!

That is lovely! Congratulations on getting out of the door - the hardest bit!

I remember waiting for Laura's 'message' - a very signficant moment!

Good job you punched the air and not the passers by!

LOL! I know what you mean about the difference between knowing and believing - I still go through that on most of my runs! Well done for getting out there and running even when tired.

Yep, I know exactly what you mean. I graduated a while ago and have opted to repeat the programme to improve my (really slow) pace, yet I still can't quite believe I can do it - how weird is that

Well done on persevering though and believe that you are a runner
