  • Right I'm sat here contemplating week 2, I think I will do some housework first though and maybe go tonight when it gets a little darker as I don't think people need to see the state I will be in :D

    OK,its time to confess !!
    After the good start to the week and managing 2 runs on week 4 I've not run since Wednesday. Have been really busy at work and been fit for nothing,when I've got home ( except choccy biscuits & the sofa)

    Anyway,"I do solemnly promise,to get my backside into gear & get my trainers on "(tomorrow)


    Good luck everyone

    Can't Live Without You musical, it's a Mamma Mia type idea but with Barry Minlow songs. Chesney Hawkes is in it :rotfl: Should be a laugh.

    I'll be out tonight, once my dinner has settled, stomach is aching at the moment! nottslass, you've promised now, no getting out of it :p

    Hey everyone, I have now finished Week 1 and am starting Week 2 tomorrow...wish me luck!!

    I've bought an e-bike on eBay and am picking it up tomorrow, it means I can ride to work without getting too hot but still get some exercise.

    All the best, everyone, and keep it up!! xxxxx

    well im shattered now - did bodypump this morning and was going to run afterwards but realised i only had my regular sports bra on not my super hold em down type ones - also didnt have 2 pairs of socks on which i like to have when running for a comfier fit in my trainers
    so went back at 5pm to do it before my step class - was hard !!! v hot in the gym too
    so that was my last week 2 run in theory and prolly also the hardest - think ill stay at week 2 for now tho - knees v sore tonight now and tired

    anyone had a look at week 3 to see whats instore for us ?

    I think week 3 goes up to 3 minute runs. That's double week two :eek:

    I'm sticking to week two just now too, we're around the same level :)

    Yea, what's an e bike?
