Did week 2 run 1 last Sunday but haven't been able to get out since so did week 2 run 1 again this morning and aiming to go out again on Tuesday night after work.
Reading how well you are all getting on inspires me to keep going - well done to all of you.

Week 7 run 3 done today, it had started raining so I ran indoors in the gym. I managed to zone out for a good portion of the time and even sped up for the last 30 seconds. Went swimming after for 30 mins as well. Going to take the bike out now - this fitness thing is taking over.

Oh I used my own music and just ran for 25 mins - Roberts music choice is not my taste.

W7R1 done now. It seemed to go really fast this time. I was driving back afterwards and felt like it had been ages since I had done the run.

Think I might have pulled a muscle in my groin though! my upper inner thigh is twinging a bit. It has been like this the last 2 runs. Can anyone suggest a good stretch I could try? Don't want to have to stop running.

Didn't get out yesterday for my wk 5 run 1, had a hangover from hell - spent more or less the whole day in bed still feeling ropey, but am off to work, planning to run when I get home so will do mon-wed -fri this week instead of sun -tue -thu......I only hope I can manage it later.....

Well done all of you getting out there, I find sometimes I am stiffer than others, just must be how it goes...I keep thinking even if I don't manage the runs as they go on, I am doing sooo much more than before (ie.nowt!!)

Have a great day all

Got shamed into running again by OH last night! Did a 5km circuit I'd planned on mapmyrun. Had quite a few walky bits (only for 10-20 seconds each time) but did it.
Doing my Race for Life on Weds, so probably won't go out again till then. Might do a brisk walk tomorrow if little one will sit in the pram for long enough:p
Come on everyone - keep posting your stories (especially Teachergirl )

:mad: Just been on mapmyrun and realised that the run I did yesterday was only 4.5kms - not sure where I'd got the distance from. Have worked out a new route that def is 5kms, but that will have to wait :mad:

finally got out after a 6 day break to do week 5 run 1 and i found it surprisingly easy compared to week 4!

i dread the run 2 though, it seems like such a jump.
well done to everyone that manages to run in the heat. ive started wearing foundation to cover up how red i get, some drivers look a bit worried when they see my tomato face walking home:o

Am due out on my run in an hour or so, still feeling rough from my hangover.....Could do with someone telling me I will be fine tummy is dodgy and still a bit heady...what do you guys think?
