just ran 2.6 miles in 25 mins :) and felt really good. Start week 7 after a days rest tomorrow and then back on the programme wednesday.. was also good to hear laura say your officially a runner now. What a journey cant believe im running non stop for 25 mins... so i gave myself a huge challenge by signing up to do the bristol half marathon sept 2017..i know long way off but its a challenge and a goal to look forward to :) im also down to 13 stone 6 from 15 stone 3 so almost 2 stone lighter :) everything is going in the right direction for me and i feel really happy to have started the programme best thing i ever done.

Well done....I'm just a week behind you and getting the same buzz from the running. Like you this is the best thing I've ever done, I really wish I had discovered it sooner...but I guess better late than never. I never thought I would say this....but I'm definitely getting addicted to the running. The 20 min run at the end of last week (week 6), gave me such a high, I actually ran it again last night instead of starting week 7...and it was easier!

Keep up the good work....week 9 is not far off!
