"for some bizarre reason find myself looking forward to it"

Natty - when I read this a big genuine and entirely unexpected smile split my face for two reasons: firstly I think we've all had this experience, and secondly you're now officially hooked! Welcome to the madness :D

Just thought I'd pop on quickly and say I've done run 3 and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm actually itching a bit to start wk2 and am a bit gutted I have to wait until Sunday!

Thanks again all :)

Everyone gets the itch to move ahead. My advice, don't move ahead until it is time! You will appreciate the wait time! And it gives your body a chance to do some healing. To go from being active to running requires some getting used to by the ole body! Congrats on finishing your first week!

I seem to find at least five excuses not to do every run, but then I just put my trainers on and tell myself to just get on with it. I always feel good for it and I'm glad I did it.

As all the post have said above everyone has had days just like you and feel like giving up and feel like ' I cannot do this I'm not a runner its for others' but believe me you can do it , I rem my first run I thought I'd die seriously was awful but the nx time I knew I wouldn't die and kept plodding along its not been easy and I did have to talk myself into going out 3 times a wk but I persevered and now am on my last wk now I'm no speedy Gonzales but I run at my own pace and enjoy it and feel so great afterwards so don't give up on yourself you will be amazed how well you will do , keep at it and good luck by the way I'm 59 this June and i'v never did much exercise apart from working in a crèche for yrs so now I am a runner and I'm lovin it
