I havent been able to go for a run yet - did a walk last night though but i seem to be getting my throat infectio back again so I will just have to get the wii fit out of hte box i think!!

I am getting an ipod thingo on the weekend too so i can get those pod thingos to listen to

[sushee]

The ipod podcasts are great because they tell you when to start running and when you stop running. The one I downloaded yesterday has this nice man who tells you that you're doing great and you only have 20 secs left to run etc! Lol!

I did session 2 of week 1 this morning as planned, and feel great! Though I noticed that the podcast makes you run 60 secs then walk 90 secs so I think I did the wrong thing at the first session when I did 30 secs running and 90 secs walking! Either way, I managed this morning's run ok, wasn't too puffed out and rose a good sweat, so I'm happy! Stretched lots too after so hopefully won't be too sore tomorrow.

Sushee - I have that same podcast!

I did run number 2 of week 1 this morning. Did it on the elliptical trainer again inside in the aircon (way toooo hot here today to run outside!). It felt slightly easier than the first session. Maybe my body is just starting to get used to this running thing now Going to do the third run on Sunday morning but outside and DP can look after DS.

Weird thing just happened to my post and lost it. Oh well.

Anyway, I was just excited that I have just finished week one. Did the third run this morning and it felt really good. Found it sooo much more harder to run on the footpath than on my elliptical trainer and half way through I thought I wasn't going to get through the next run. But I pushed through it and did the whole thing! It felt really good Yeah!

Great work Laranna! I'm only doing it twice a week so my last week 1 run is tomorrow morning. I know what you mean about the last few runs - I kept thinking I wasn't going to make it through them too!

I missed my walk with my friend this morning (my regular Sunday morning walk) so am making up by hitting the spin bike this evening. Hopefully my legs won't be too tired tomorrow morning.
