Hi all.

As you'll know, I'm struggling with my nemesis run but thankfully I've the support of so many of you and my lovely sister in law to keep me going.

I just wanted to say - just noticed how many graduates are blogging. Loads!! Great stuff!! Which surely goes to show this program can be done and us newbies/non graduates can do this!!

Positive thinking ahead of my nemesis next run......

Cheers guys

:-) Ali

I remember reading graduate blogs in December and being absolutely sure I'd never be able to get to 30 mins and yet I didn't even think today, when I passed the 5k mark. I'd almost go as far to say I enjoy it, now - almost... :)

I agree whole-heartedly with wepre! You will do this Alli! :-) I went from not coping with some of my 1 minutes to currently running my first 5 miles/8K. Gayle
