Oh I think I worked out my pedometer....It was set up for walking and I was many many pounds lighter lol...I used it years ago, I have set the centimetres as 100 for running, not exactly measured it properly but I will give it another chance tomorrow!! thanks for the vote of confidence!! :)

Completed this today Dee, and so I have already proved to myself I can do this, so happy Christmas to me...:) I didn't get too excited though as I took out my pedometer a cheap thingy that just is supposed to record steps taken!! I only did 3301 steps which equated tells me i ran only 2.5K now either it only recorded every…

oh and I meant you and me both...learning a lot about myself - and not glad its nearly over!!

You and me both Dee!! I did this at around 4pm this afternoon, absolutely full of cold and sore throat, I plastered on a lavender stick on my chest to open and relax my airways....I started running and thought I am not really sure I should be doing this in my condition as I was struggling to breathe. I decided that it was…

Wow....I will have only just finished the 5k phew i will be amazed if I could go straight onto doing the 10k, but hey what a challenge!!

Done this morning....so I can get onto week 8 soon if it's not much different!! My british wk6 D3 was 25mins running, so I can see myself as having done 2 of this one! :)

I have to agree Dee!! thanks and also well done for Orphia :)

Thank you ....it's a tough old road :/

Maybe the british one then is slightly different? Mine told me it was 25 min run, if it shouldn't have been then at least it has made me feel I can do it, however as I said I do run slow, so I need to look at that Fit bit thingy Orphia uses! :) Glad you still kept me as a friend :/

Hi Dee, not sure what happened here? I did a 5 min warm up and cool down today and a 25 mins run....yipppeee as part of the wk 6 day 3...I think that means I may have officially cracked it, and even put a spurt on on the last minute as requested by my my recording!! although I am behind in weeks to finish my challenge, I…

Arrgh I was going to ask how you knew how far you travelled I will look at fitbit!! You are doing so well, I think as I run slow it would give me a bit of enthusiasm to know how far I travelled Well done you

Not exactly on FIRE lol, however managed this on Tuesday evening after walking around as part of my job for 6hrs so I was pleased I have done it, I am now away in the New Forest area, which I am told I can run around...tomorrow morning, so lets see if I make W6 D3 while away. Thanks for keeping on posting Dee, hope you are…

Thank you Orphia for your support, hope you are doing :)

Thank you for posting Dee...I did this, I now have in my head weather and work permitted I hope to finish the week 9 on Christmas day...or there a bouts, I may or may not achieve this goal but it is an intention.....as not food logging is at the moment so at least if I keep the running up I hope to at least keep some sort…

I DID IT...I DID IT!!!! Strangely though it has took me all day to remember to put it on here..lol yes it was tough but just kept on going even though i had planned that if i needed to stop i would...roll on the week 6 day 1 which is easy i reckon after this one!! Hope everyone is ok :)

Thanks for your reply Orphia...:)

lol...gosh it is a struggle in the winter, though I hope and pray that if I fight the urge and make myself exercise then at least I will feel less of the symptoms of SAD :) yes indeed, I am only on my half..as I pull the covers over lol

i say well done to everyone and any effort I say, It is so difficult at times..

Back at this one today once I dragged myself out of my pit in the dark....

Back to this one, yet again this morning after having a fight with myself...about going out, extremely cold on the face and breath in, although of course now I feel better in myself, now maybe if I get back into logging my food I will get back on top :/

A bit of a set back, worked away from home for 2 days got soaked - pulled my thigh, and generally fed up, not coded food either since then so had a bit of a rest, went back to a run this morning but chose to redo this one as I was about to do the 20mins run at the time I pulled my thigh....Lets see if I can keep this going…

Done and felt I could have carried on running, which is a good sign ready for Tuesdays 2 x 8min runs :) How you doing - resting I hope??

Yes well I had 2 days of heavy rain so waited and did my run this afternoon...I know what I need from hubby for xmas, some rain running gear lol...:) W4 D3 done now to download the weeks worth of W5 Are you feeling better Dee I do hope so?? :) Di

Yes both I agree that stretching is very important, esp before starting....:/ I am sorry to hear that you are having feet problems :( that is a real shame! I worry about you running on a running machine and really think landing on the front part of your foot could make it easier and more comfortable than landing on your…

Good luck Mangsney, once you start, you will get the bug and will not be able to stop....:) HONEST :) Looking forward to this one Thursday after a v wet morning today..on W4 D2 speak soon Your doing amazingly Dee

and my intention is to remove the first 4 weeks to give me room to put the others on as I hope (touch wood) that I never need to go back to them, my intention now is run fully always once the 9 weeks is up and perhaps do a couple of charity events next summer!! :) now there is a challenge :)

I did this yesterday Dee!!! I didn't really fancy doing it and kept thinking should I Stay back at week 3 as the jump from 9mins to 16mins seemed a lot.......BUT I did it....I am redoing on Tuesday and Thursday this week and see then what the challenge of week 5 is for sunday I have no idea yet as I have not even…

Aaw well done you all, I am not looking forward to this one at all, my first day of week 4 will be Sunday....:/ hope I feel fresh enough

This is where I am at today!!....not sure about week 4 it looks a tough one!! :(

Gggrrr Toughy
