Hi girls,
I did week 1 twice because I just could not face moving to week 2....I think I might do week 1 again this week ha ha ha I am just so unfit after a whole year with no exercise!
PinkLilly - you live near me I will be watching everyone running around now suspecting that it might be you!!!

I am finally doing week 2 now after the heat wave is over. I cant believe it is working, I have noticed an improvement in my fitness already I didnt think it would happen so fast. I never thought I would say this but I am enjoying running lol. My partner proposed on the 8th so now I have an extra incentive to get in shape and fit

Hi guys, Havent popped in for a while but still keeping up with this. Am going on to the 5th week today. Will jog home. I love the feeling it gives me but cant say I actually enjoy it at the time. lol. I wish I could jog with music but am too paranoid about weirdos.
Anyway glad you are all going well with the jogging. Keep up the good work!

I've just finished Week 4, so starting Week 5 on Wednesday.I've been doing it on my cross trainer since my knees aren't taking kindly to pounding the pavement. It's great though because I can read my book while I run

Everyone sounds like they are going well!

I had to take a break, but am back into it again. I finally finished week two (it took me three weeks) and am ready to move forward again. Starting week 3 tomorrow...

So Jo, take your time with the weeks, I think that is it the beauty of this program. Move on when you are ready.

And a big Congrats Sararose!

Ruf - yay for you! I am so taking my time to build up but I am still pleased with myself for actually getting back into fitness! I used to be a complete gym junkie but I had lost the motivation. I actually went running on Sunday night in the pouring rain it was awesome people were looking at me strangely but I felt good and the thought of a hot shower when I got home kept me going!
I am glad my ipod survived the rain I would not be able to go without it!

I found yesterdays run pretty hard but was proud of myself when I finished. During the jog parts I concentrated on pumping my arms instead of thinking about my legs and it really helped keep me going.
Here's to us!

I jogged 10kms this morning! Woo hoo! Sure it took me 1.5 hours. A lot longer than I thought but I survived and feel great. Hope everyone else is going well.

I am still on week four had a few slack weeks but Im back into it and determined that I will get to the 5k mark sometime this year. I am going to play my first netball game in years tonight and its with nets so its going to be interesting lol.
