Starting C25K 19/11

Carolcervix that's probably a good plan. I'm due to do that run today but last night I dragged myself up to an exercise class I've signed up for and I'm exhausted this morning. Sick kids, not much sleep and I think it was just too much. Planning a quiet evening, early night and try again tomorrow.

Also, in the last 2 weeks I haven't lost an ounce! Need to sort my diet out I think :(

this week has been rubbish. was going to do W3R2 this morning but tooooo tired and going back to bed. will do tomorrow and then repeat if needed.

Welcome pop.
hamble I prefer the outside, rain and all. The thought of a gym would put me right off. I like the blustery wind .
Facial sounds lovely.

Welcome popelloucia

I'm deeply impressed with anyone still running outside now - HAIL FGS! No chance, I'm made of softer stuff.

Hi, can I join you.

Just done W3R1 in sunshine, rain, hail and wind.

It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, the worst bit was the second 90 second run, which started just as I turned into a head wind. It was not pleasant, but so pleased I'm managing to stick with the programme.

Well the run is done, but I can't say I enjoyed it - felt hard today. Maybe last night's had something to do with that.

However, I did it and was rewarded with a blissful dermalogica facial straight afterwards. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah...

If only that could be my reward every time?!

The weather is horrendous here today; cold, rainy and blowing a gale the school run was an ordeal and now I wish I could just crawl back under my duvet...BUT I WON'T

I'm heading to the gym to do W3R2, then I have a facial booked in for afterwards

W3R3 done and feeling hot hot hot! Too late to fix proper dinner now so having 2 ritz biscuits a couple of squares of choc and a glass of wine!

must, I think it's good in the cold because after you've run for a bit you warm up and feel even more invigorated. I went out last week in DH's baselayer, a thin fleece and a windcheater, support pants and leggings, and despite wind and rain I was fine after 5 minutes. I'm sure I looked like a dedicated professional

golemmings you can rely on plenty of drunken posts from me. Week 3 is great, time goes quickly and feels easier than week2. bugrit funny you should say that about your DH because mine was saying something along the same lines which would be great for him.
It's so cold and damp out and have to do R3 tonight after put the tidddlers to bed. Really not looking forward to it.

Week 3 run 1 done :)

I'm cross with myself because halfway through the second 3 minute run I accidentally hit the stop button. I had to quickly restart it manually so I lost about half a minute. I ran for an extra bit once I got it going again but i still feel like a cheat. I'm telling myself that it doesn't matter because i still have two chances to have proper runs this week.

DH is quietly considering having a shot too which I'm excited about ... Evangelical now!

My legs ache a lot less between runs than they did at first, which is nice.

Happy running! :)

That post may in fact be enough to get me out of bed and in the gym at 7.30am tomorrow, golemmings, thank you! Still ice and snow everywhere so I'm an indoor runner for the moment :(.

I have been recording my runs on Endomondo but there's not much point on a treadmill, which is a shame because logging them is quite interesting and motivating.

musttidy, how's your head?

i think i feel smaller. the scales say i'm not but i think i might be. which is good.

although i'm working some nights now so body clock will be all over the place and will probably put on another stone from 4am eating.

musttidyup it doesn't matter about the wine, your new superfast metabolism will burn off the calories in a blink!

What trying to slur say is
Come On now ladies we should be PROUD to be running not hiding at night or in the gym. I am past giving a shite and besides if anyone says anything I can't hear with my iPod on

Just in case anyone was wondering I have had too much wine.

I'm with bugrit I want her to be my newbestfriend. LovIng the enthusiasm I LOVE IT TOO! I don't care if anyone sees me I'm just so happy with myself that I am making the bloody effort and feeling good about myself and not just a mummycanihavemummywillyougetmenoiwontcanihaveineedihatehimbumbumnappychangingnightsettlingsupernegotiatimgmarmitesandwichmakingpleasepleasepleasemilkmachinemummy.

Great to have a few people at around the same stage as me, it's encouraging. :)

I'm in the Highlands so I'm going to have to suck it up and learn to love the treadmill, because it could be snowy here for a few days or a few months now, who knows?!

Hambles I prefer running outside - I have the dogs for company, there are no other people and if there are they hopefully don't recognise me in my disguise hat, and it's more interesting because I can vary the route. Plus I have been running at night (mainly to avoid being seen by people I know!) and in the woods, with a headtorch, so it's much more exciting/stupid than indoor running. Plus the faff of fiddling with the treadmill buttons every couple of minutes concerns me - I am guaranteed to come flying off the thing eventually.

I bloody love this though

WELL DONE everyone :)

Well done everyone!

Bugrit, I'm much preferring the treadmill and find it sooo much easier that I'm wondering if it even counts??

So W3R1 done and I found it so agreeable that I did 5 minutes at the end instead of 3!

I can't tell you how chuffed I am that i can do that, so soon after struggling to go for a minute

I don't think I'm changing shape though, still distinctly barrel shaped, which is nice.

W3R2 complete and fine. Am so surprised I can run 3 mins without too much trouble!

Wk2 r3 done. Treadmill - yuck. But better than not running. Hot and sweaty but managed fine, bring on week 3 (and piss off snow!) :)
