I'VE DONE IT!!!

I joined the gym in April and never in a million years thought I'd be were I am now in such a short space of time.

The first time I went on a running machine and actually ran I lasted about 3 minutes max and nearly keeled over when I got off.

Over the weeks it's been getting easier and I've been doing 20 minutes of fast walking/running each time, gradually increasing the running and decreasing the walking.

Every time I've been getting to 1.9 miles in the 20 mins and it's been driving me mad that I could get to 2 miles.

Ok, it the grand scheme of things this isn't much but I'm really chuffed with myself so I'm blowing my own trumpet here

It clicked over to 2 miles for the first time on wednesday, I did it again on Friday and then today I got to 2.1 miles.

I love it!!!! and the gym instructor has said if I keep this up he'll nominate me for gym member of the month. I spend about 2 hrs every other day there now

I'm not going to create world peace or anything but for me it's a huge achievement.

You're on, QE. Get your knee better ASAP.

The reason I ran so well today was because I was thinking about our Fishfinger/cod and her 20 mins-2 mile run each day.

I really wanted to do it, simply beacuse she can

Blimey, you sound like me - I just have to beat someone, it doesn't matter who it is!! Looking all cool and as though it was nothing really all at the same time of course

believe me QE, I looked far from cool.


A very long way from it infact.
I had sweat dripping off my nose!

It was great!

I didn't look cool as in " CooooooL" either and cheered myself when it changed to 2.2 miles.
