I completed my second run this morning and decided to do it on the undulating terrain of my home turf. It was tough, but I managed to do it in exactly the same time as monday's levelish run! I'm really pleased! :)

I can't believe that just 5 short weeks ago, I really struggled with those 60 second runs and avoided doing them on any uphill bits!

Thanks so much Gareth and all, I couldn't have done this without your support and encouragement :)

Good luck everyone with your runs. Remember, if you believe you can do it, then you will do it :)

Hi Gareth,

Here's to a great Week 5 Run 2. I'm hoping to do mine later today. Great that moreless has already done hers - she's out at the crack of dawn!

Wishing everyone a great week.

Hi everyone,

I have completed my second run of the week today. I went to the gym, I ran 5kms on the treadmill - it took me 31 minutes and 37 seconds. I then decided that as I was feeling really good, I would continue!!! I ended up doing 8kms and it took me 49 minutes and 35 seconds. I then finished off with a cool down walk for the remaining 0.5kms. So I did 8.5kms in total, and the incline was on 2 (by mistake actually - I meant to set it at 1 - not sure how I did that!).

I really felt good though - like my endorphins were racing. But afterwards I was an extremely bright and deep shade of beetroot and I did feel slightly nauseous! But thankfully that didn't last too long...!

Wishing everyone success with their runs. I'm hoping to do my 3rd run on the weekend.

Lowcal :-)

Woohoo Lowcal, what a star! I'm going to have to go some to catch up with you! :)

I couldn't be happier for you, by next week, we'll be hearing all about how you're about to run a marathon! :)

I hope your third run is equally as successful :)
