I had to give myself a big pat on the back today when at the start of run 2, Michael announced that this was my 5th week of running & found myself answering him with a big NO when he asked if I'd thought at the beginning of week 1 I would be running this long & far in week 5. I should have started week 5 yesterday but had to defer to this morning due to insufficient time after work yesterday. No gremlins when I woke up - Steve was still snoring when I went out & he didn't wake up until just into the last run when he started whinging and suggesting that I slow down to a walk but the Michael's dulcet tones came on.....keep going, imagine that finishing line. Well, Steve got kicked into touch & I imagined the finishing line at the end of the path & I went for it.....whoo hooo I did it! It is definitely getting easier and watching a beautiful sunrise as I finished was the icing on the cake. Time for hot shower & a good breakfast. Have a great day everyone xx (PS photo is me at the end of the session)

Well you certainly are looking well for just finishing your run😊🏃👍well done you!! I struggle with morning runs have tried them but im a lot slower than my normal slow run😂😂 but like you i give myself a pat on the back for having got out there to run!! Had never ran beforec25k & have in past ran 5k so i think we are all stars🌟🌟 just have to build up again 😀Looking forward to hearing all about your progress dhiny😊
Well done! I start week 5 tomorrow. I've only lost 1lb so far (at the top end of my BMI), but lost one and a half inches around my waist, which makes me carry on...and my wedding ring is looser. Have you noticed any differences yet? I guess the main one I am feeling is fitter though.
How much do you hope to lose? I want to lose about 1 stone in total and get back into size 10!
Yes my wedding ring is looser, lost 3.5lb & my clothes are looser too. I have also noticed that I can walk faster & further and walking up inclines is much easier. I have a stoner loose & am watching my diet too. 😊

There is no better feeling, is there? Well done, you.
