And so it begins .....

Something had to be done about my couch potato tendencies, so I ordered some running shoes, downloaded the c25k podcasts ..... and bottled it. I couldn't really go outside and run, could I?

Well, much to my surprise, I did just that. Today, in daylight no less. I'm not quite sure I enjoyed it and I know it will hurt tomorrow, but I got through it - 8 minutes of running, who'd have thought it?

I'd never really done enough exercise to feel a buzz afterwards, but I think I might be starting to understand.....

me too... did my 1st run on tue but we were on holiday in our caravan at the farm so all though it was daylight it was just me and the cows in the field down the lane I was running on LOL. anyway home now and 2nd run is due tomorrow , thinking of doing it early morning so no one sees me but like you who would have thought I could run for 8 minutes x

snap.. 1st run was Monday.. have opted for the 5.30am run before i leave for work!! When i get better at it i may venture out in the evening! I am surprising myself with every run as haven't exercised like this since leaving school in 85!!! x

Well done to all of you, the 1st one is the hardest & you've done it!! This programme is great, hopefully you will be as amazed as I was (& still am) that it got me, an overweight complete swerver of exercise, motivated to complete it & nearly 2 weeks after graduating I still want to push myself to do better!

Good luck for your next run
