You're right, I don't want to leave here (ever), it's been so motivational. Not too sure I want to run any further than 5kms anyway, so will stay put! We can all check that each other has been out at least a few times a week

Hi
Is your first 5k a Race for Life?

Yes it is! Obviously its not a hard core race or anything, but i'd love to be able to run half of it at least.

Waiting for the report



Hey, welcome are you going to be following the podcasts?

I'm sure you'll get there in no time

Thanks! I was going to have a look, but i havent used my little ipod in yonks so i will have to dig it out and fire her up.

Good luck vixarooni - I too am hoping it gets easier!!!

Thank you!

I must say after my first run yesterday i have felt different today, like i have more energy and like my internal organs are working better. I know that sounds strange but i really cany describe it any other way ha!

I havent been for a run today, but im going to go for a walk tomorrow morning before work, to burn off the chinese i kinda ate this evening

Completed week 4 today. Was so hot I didn't think I'd manage but I did! Week 5 starts on Thursday and hoping it won't be so hot in the morning.

I have an iPod touch too and have just been putting it down my sports bra but it's not ideal! I think I will try and find a runners belt to put it in with my phone and keys. A money belt might work too as they are quite close fitting and hopefully wouldn't bounce around too much.

69chick and u01jet4, maybe try a pair of running capri trousers like these if u dont have ones like these? They have a zip pocket at the back that you could put your iPod in and theyre comfy to run in?

Drea - I hope you are feeling better this morning.

Mumto2 - what a fantastic idea your OH has! Love it (Although I still don't dare running in public...)

I did Week 6 Run 2 last night. I dont' think I am ready to do the 25 min run yet, so I will be repeating my attempt at 20 min run - run as long as you possible can, take a few minutes to calm down, and get again. Hopefully, I will manage 25 minutes running in total with just a short break in the middle somewhere. My headache was back after run yesterday (didn't have it for a while, though I was over those), but I am feeling much better this morning.
