Hi sushee,
I did this program last year in the summer and it was great. I really enjoyed getting out in the fresh air and having a program to keep to was really motivating. Unfortunately with less daylight in winter, I gave it up and this summer I know I am less fit and for some reason very unmotivated!! I will watch you guys as it may get me motivated.
Tenille, saw the thread about your DH. that is very bad. Stoopid People don't realise what damage a hit to the head can do.

I'm in too. DH and I are going to do it together. I think though we will start tomorrow - for now anyway the best days for us will be Tues, Thurs and Sunday. But that might change in three weeks when DS1 starts big boy kindy.

How did you go this morning?

Well, I did it!!!!! The first run is out of the way, and man it was good!

I have not run for over a year, and getting back out there felt sooooooooo good. But man am I unfit. Anyway, that last 60 seconds running was a killer, but I must say, I liked having the podcast, it kept me focussed, without having to check the time. Next run for me will be lunchtime Wednesday.

Anyone else run?

DH mentioned last night that he wanted to do this..

I think we'll start it next Monday - I'm trying to shift a bit more weight so the jogging isn't so hard on my joints.

Did it this morning and it was fine. I am not naturally a runner but didn't struggle with it. It was my muscles that hurt more than feeling puffed. I guess I musn't use those ones too much. Only planning to do once a week due to other exercise but if I feel motivated I will go again later in the week. Just really looking forward to shifting some weight. It is so easy to gain and so hard to lose!!!
