I got home from work - got into my running gear - positive mind that I COULD do it, but just putting a sock on - let alone my trainer - made it feel awful!

Cheers guys for all your words of encouragement. I started this last Weds, so which meant that I'd be running on a Weds, Fri and Sun each week, but I thought I would prefer to run on a Mon, Weds and Fri - then I get the weekends off - so I re-started Week 1 again on Monday and BOY was that run tough...
