Re: Hello and thank you :)

Hey :)

W5! You're doing so well! Way ahead of me (W1R3) so I can't offer reassurance lol but you're absolutely smashing this and you just had a baby too :)

Look forward to hearing how you get on.

Re: And so it begins

Wow! Just wow. I cant imagine being where you are and admit to being quite scared of it but these honest diaries really help to prepare us newbies (I hope!) for whats ahead.

Best of luck with the remaining runs on C25K. YOuve achieved so much. You must be so proud :)

Re: New and desperately unfit hello and diary :)

Well that's W1R2 done :) My legs felt very slightly sore still from Saturdays run so I expected it to be harder today. I think it was actually veeeeeery slightly easier but still a real effort on runs 7 and 8. It really did fly by though. Far more quickly than the first run. A few real runners went ...

Re: New and desperately unfit but hello :)

I've just done W1R1! I bought the running clothes I needed yesterday so today I knew I had to get this run done because the longer I went on trying to prepare, the more I was worrying about not completing it and wondering how many times I would have to do the first run before I'd be able to complete...
