Oh My Goodness!

Cloudy grey morning after the lovely ones we've been having for the last few days, but I was going jogging anyway.

Off I set at 9am and I put on the podcast for 20 minutes. I actually started jogging about 30 seconds before Laura piped up to start, I had to remember to slow it down a bit. Kept on going 5 minutes done, stilling going good, changed my route a bit too. 10 minutes done, so I was half way and still all is good. Keep going and don't listen to the voices (haha) just enjoy the run. I think I found my pace finally Laura told me I'm done and I kept going, in fact I kept going all through the cool down walk and did 26 minutes total jogging. I actually felt like I could have continued a bit further but I was already at the back of my house. I didn't set out to do more than 20 minutes so the pressure wasn't there to do more, I just did. Hopefully I have knocked the wall down and can now continue with week7. I actually felt like shouting "YES I'VE DONE IT" when I stopped (hahaha) but I didn't.

Happy jogging everyone. And thank you all for the wonderful support and advice.

Yabba dabba dooo! You really smashed that! Handled brilliantly too. A change of route probably helped, and you shut up the voices.

Feeling pretty good I must say. Now I just have to do it two more times and I can move on to week8.

Fantastic news, caz1_ca! I'm SO pleased for you. What a great achievement. You must be feeling on top of the world.

Have a good rest and good luck with the next run.

[caz1_ca Graduate]

Thank you Mason. Wishing you the very best of luck for week 7. I do run 2 tomorrow. Best advise I can give you is try not to think too much about it and just take it slow.

Isn't it funny how addictive running is. When I'm not running I'm thinking and talking about running. I think everyone is sick of hearing me going on about. LOL

[mason73 Graduate in reply to caz1_ca]

Thats what makes this website so great ha ha as it is addictive but thats because i didnt like many others believe i would get this far and yes i love getting out to run even though none of my friends or husband ( pe teacher) thought id ever stick with it and that feels great

Happy running caz
