    Hi Ladies.

    Currently doing week 5 again!!! Had to take a break for about 2 weeks cause DD got sick and stopped sleeping at night, then I got sick . Anyway, have just done session 2 for week 5, which was hard after 2 weeks of no running at all, but I managed.

    Not looking forward to week six...

    Everyone sounds like they are doing well
    I am making sure I complete the week twic before I move on to the next week, so I am only onto week 4 but I am still enjoying it. I just couldn't to the last 20 secs of jogging but Ill keep going til I get there. I think part of the problem is my last run is uphill and I am buggered by the end of it. Monday I might drop the girls at mums and do my run around where she lives as it is really flat and see if it makes it easier.

    I am so proud of myself I never thought I would be someone who would regularly 'run' (well jog anyway lol). After doing my first 5min run I felt so exhilerated (sp?). Cant wait to finish the program and run 5k's what an achievement.

    Well done to everyone, especially those that have had to stop for different reasons and have gotten back into it.

    Hi guys. thought I would post and bump it up.
    I am doing well. Have run a few 6km jogs in about 40-45mins which I am proud of. Can now run 25mins straight without being too out of breath so big woo hoos! I have planned out a 10km jog that I would like to try next week.
    The only thing for me is that is seems a bit boring! I am going to download some jogging music to see if that helps. Anyone have any other suggestions for keeping boredom at bay during the run?
    Anyway hope you are all going really well. Can't wait to see updates.
