elfen

Week 4 run 4 is done, onto week 5 tomorrow. Seems ot be getting a LOT easier, didn't get out of puff until half way through the 2nd 5 minute. I know it's working as I walked up 8 flights of stairs without getting out of puff either

Well... hello... again

Not going to say I'm starting running yet again! But I had a one day pass at the gym and plan to join it, so I will be doing a bit of running on the treadmill and whatnot.

Huge well done to you guys for still running, especially Juno and teachergirl

:rotfl: Had never been on a treadmill in my life until Friday night! Thinking about getting a Fri, Sat and Sun pass to the gym near me (working Mon-Thurs 11am - 10pm now) and seeing how that goes. Just worried I won't stick at it, I don't seem very good at that

You said it;)
Wow you work amazingly long hours! More money saving to run outside you know. So long as you can cope with the freezing weather and torrential rain.
Glad you're O.K. though and back in spirit if not yet in body.

Yeah I moved to Cardiff a month or so ago and got a new job. Don't have to do these hours but it means I get the full weekend off and have set shifts whereas others don't know what they're working one week to the next

I know, but the gym is a nice novelty isn't it and I could go to a few of the classes etc, will see over the next couple days what I want to do.

How are things? How far you running now? (hate to think :rotfl:)
