    I have to go to BLT tonight, but right now I'm so happy I don't care.

    Thank you for all your kind words on Tuesday, coz I don't think I woulda tried again otherwise. Well, I wouldn't be doing this at all without this thread.

    LOL bums legs and tums at a guess !!!

    KM - def try week 2 - its honestly not that much harder
    as for exercise - i just love it and working in a gym does kinda mean you have o show willing - practice what you preach and all that
    which is what surprised me about this initally - not sure if you read any of my ramblings on this but i could pretty much do aerobics till the cows came home but cant run hence me finding this as hard as any of you
    its a different kind of exercise i guess

    right - week 2 and bring on the moaning

    also - i knew i wouldnt run today and was doing 2 classes yesterday already but was really considering missing my running rest day to add another run in as well yesterday - addicitive aint it ???? LOL

    Yup, bums legs and tums.

    I'm doing this because I kinda see running as the ultimate exercise, and I always hated being made to do it at school. It's also free to do, and I'm hoping to lose weight *points at sig*
