It's easy forget how I've come on since starting, when 1 minute was an achievement I've really slowed down since I treated myself to new runners (got under armour Gemini 2's - no shin splints since!) My legs go all weird if I try to slow down further, it's like I'm tensing my calves too much? I even put music with a lower bpm on my phone to try and keep a slower rhythm! My usual tricks of telling myself to run to the pole, sign post etc didn't work! I might try a different route for tomorrow night as I'm doing the same one since I started C25K

But I went out, put some good music on the phone, got soaked and smiled haha Here's hoping w4d2 will go as good As I was coming back home I realised out of the 31 minutes, I ran for 16 of those (snail pace but still ran, right?!). I thought back to week 2 and how difficult I found it, now look at me! Thanks again for all the advice from everyone, I really appreciate it

Thing is, I haven't been out once since then I literally have done no physical exercise in the last 9 days! I'm not even going to try to offer excuses as to why I didn't get out. Should I try week 8, run 2 tonight or would I be too unfit? Feeling frustrated at letting a lot of good work being wasted in the last week.

In the summer I made it to week 6 (finished week 6), then went on a two week piss up holiday and threw all my progress down the drain. Decided now is the best time to start again after Christmas as I also want to stay off the drink for a while now. I remember how happy I was to finish week 5, I want to get back to that and finish the program so I look forward to joining you guys with the regular updates.

Its Wednesday, not too late to start the week, get out and do it, you won't regret it. I was due to start week 7 had two weeks of drinking and never returned.. you don't want to make the same mistake I did.. it's not too late to keep that fire burning, keeping the fire burning is better than starting the fire again.
