    When I said unfit even I didn't think I was that bad. If I wasn't so embarrassed I would post a picture of how red my face is :o That literally killed me :cool: My mouth and lips felt dry most of the time? Perhaps I am badly dehydrated to start with :confused: and also my throat hurt :confused:

    How much can I moan :o :rotfl: Now I know why I have NEVER exercised before :cool:

    I don't know about taking a bottle of water coz I need to get organised I took my ipod with no arm band thingy (as haven't got one yet) so tucked it into the top of my pants :rotfl: And then I thought oh beep what will I do with my door key? So ran with key in my hand :rotfl:
    Oh joy aching tomorrow :rolleyes:

    I will have to do my next run Sunday I think but I think it will take even more motivation as I definately know what I am in for next time :o :cool:

    Bet you're all so glad I joined with all this moaning :eek: anyones ears bleeding yet :D

    ok so week one run 3 completed - but not without complications !!
    i used a treadmill today as wanted to go to a class after and didnt want to be dirty and was going well feeling ok when during recovery 5 everything went quiet - thought battery gone or knocked it on pause or something so started fiddling then noticed the display said sixth run so i panicked a little and started running

    i think i ran for about 45 secs when it said right lets begin our next run - 7th - arghhh !!! so i just kept running until the next recovery
    was ok really - this 3rd run was definitly the best

    1st - pavements - very hard - but hard cos it was first or hard cos it was pavements ?? or both ??
    2nd - field - not bad got ear ache from wind but legs recovered very quickly
    3rd - treadmill - good - worked harder - ran faster and walked faster - also added at least 15 secs onto each run before recovery

    to be fair running on a treadmill is easier as it helps carry you along a bit but i was definitely walking faster during my recoveries on the treadmill

    aiming to do another week one on sunday when i finish in the gym - tho did feel a bit of a kn0b with all the stopping and starting esp as some of my clients were in the gym !!!

    cant have been to bad tho as i went and did bodypump 20 minutes after !!!

    good luck everyone it does get easier - lets keep going xxx

    I'm gonna join in!

    I've done a bit of running recently, and have got loads better. I normally run/walk just less than 2 miles, which takes me about 20 mins. So this is a bit longer, and I can't just stop when I feel like it.

    I pin my key to my sports bra when I run!

    Unfortunately, this does mean I have to fiddle with my hands down my top. I did try attaching it to a chain around my neck, but it swang when I ran and annoyed me.
