Just finished W1R2 & I'm feeling FAB! Clocked how far I ran this time... 1.8miled!!!!!!!!! I was shocked lol. I had a good stretch to warm up & cool down, also burned 273 cals accurate with my Polar HRM.
Very pleased with myself.

Becca - good for you. We've all started out like you and been keen enough to stick with it, but frankly your upbeat view is inspiring. Thank you.

Ok so iv had a super busy day today! Me & my Hubby have been out hand delivering our wedding vow renewal invites. We have not stopped all day!
Also we when out last night with a few friends for a drink at out local & got rather drunk! Ops! hehe. So when it came to 9:15pm which is the time for my run I was not ready to go, then friends popped over for a cup of tea do by the time they left it was gone 10pm :o(

But me being me I got my running gear on grabbed my water & still went out. Yay I'm so pleased I did, I felt it more today(but I'm blaming the alcohol from last night for that lol)
The run went well, I beat my last run & punched the air with joy as I passed my half way turn around point :o) ran total distance this time was just under 2 miles & 276 cals burned HRM Accurate xx

I'm looking forward to starting W2 R1 on Tuesday

Hope every1 else is doing good

Hi becca. I did w2r1 last night so more or less at same stage as you. Night off tonight but looking forward to w2r2 tomorrow. Weirdly I found w2r1 bit easier than w1 but not going to get too confident just yet!! I am still wondering if this app will make a runner of me but have to say the comments on this forum are v. encouraging. Enjoy your run tonight

Ok so w2r1 was harder than I expected! But I did it & love it just as much.
But I only realised when I started to run that you have 2days rest after run 3 lol so should not have run till Wednesday.

I still ran as it works out better for me as I was gona have to change Sundays run as we are off to London to watch our Daughter dance on the west end stage at Her Majesty's Theater(super proud patents :))

Hope everyone else's runs whent just as good as mine did,
Hugs sent to you all
