    Been reading your post and wanted to say well done on your achievement so far. I am 52 years old and like you I used to do a bit of jgging in my early twenties before I had my children. Over the last 32 years I have yoyo dieted and at present am nearly at the heaviest i have ever been. I started running again 2.5 years ago and I started by just walking from 1 lampost to another and then running the next lampost, walking the next etc until I managed to run 2 lamposts together. I continued like this building up the running and reducing the walking lamposts until I was eventually able to run a few lamposts together. I entered a charity 5k event and found I managed to run it in 29mins, so was well chuffed! Last year I entered my first ever 10k at the age of 50 years and 11 months and I completed it in 61 mins. Running is a great way to keep fit and really helps with weight control. I have just started Slimming World diet and have made a pact that this is my last ever time of joining a club. I am going to get down to 10st and stay at that weight! best of luck to you x

    That's such an inspirational story, thank you so much for sharing that! I'd love to get to a point where I could consider a 5k run, but at the moment I'm happy building up stamina and trying to not let myself go back to my former weight.

    Jogging in the rain is horrible. I hadn't drunk enough water beforehand, and really struggled with the 5-min jogs, and considered quitting during the second round of jogging. Managed to keep going, albeit slowly, so that's something. I'm out all day Wednesday and don't get back until late, I might leave jogging until Thursday depending on how I feel.

    Today would've ideally been the last day of week 4, but I got back from my training course absolutely shattered and not at all motivated to try jogging. Have spent the evening since I got back in the bath and am now in bed, will try to go jogging tomorrow morning before heading onto campus.

    Yestreday I did W4D3 - week 4 done! It was hard and my tummy hurt a fair bit, must spend more time stretching that out in future. Tomorrow I'd ideally start W5D1 (eek) but am in Manchester all day and get back late, so again I might leave a day and wait until Sunday. Week 5 looks daunting, but I can feel myself getting more stamina.

    I got back from Manchester quite late and thought 'I'll run anyway!' So I managed a whole 4 minutes before admitting defeat and walking home - my body was too tired for more, and I hadn't stretched properly beforehand, so while I'm disappointed I'm not surprised. Tomorrow I have no plans until the evening, I'll try and do the whole jog then.

    It was hard, but not a killer - then again I paced myself better today than I did yesterday. The ground was quite muddy which slowed me down, in a way this probably helped my pacing. Still, drier ground would make things a bit easier! Day 2's going to be interesting, then again I didn't think I could manage a 3-minute jog or a 5-minute one, so I'm clearly getting better at this.

    I was surprised that it didn't feel like a killer, I'll admit that I was breathing quite hard about halfway through though. Still, it feels good. A friend of mine says that she loves running but has very low stamina, but when I suggested she join me she says that she doesn't much like jogging. To be honest neither do I, but I see it as a step closer to running, which I do quite enjoy.

    Week 5 done!
    W5D3 wasn't as bad as I'd thought - I jogged fairly slowly, and after a few minutes got into a rhythm where I didn't feel I was tiring myself too much. At the end I felt so pleased, then after a few minutes' walk felt really energetic and pumped! Still feel like I have a bit of energy, which is good. Maybe I should've jogged earlier in the day, since it seems a bit of a waste having energy now that it's evening!

    Strictly speaking I should've done this yesterday, but given that yesterday evening was the university's Ball that I attend each year, I didn't have time to fit in a run and shower before going to help with preparations. The Ball was great fun, but I ate and drank more than I should've - consequently my tummy didn't feel great when jogging. Still, better than not going for a jog at all - I was tempted by that option, but it would be harder to get back into routine if I took a 2-day break, I feel.

    I got back exhausted from my day-long training course - by the time I felt recovered, it was 9pm and getting dark. I had a fair bit of energy, so I jogged indoors since my housemates were all out (they're still not back, I wonder where they are) - not sure if it was as effective as if I'd gone outdoors, but could feel my muscles working and my heart rate going up. I have the course again on Thursday but am free on Friday, so I might save W6D3 until then. We'll see how I feel.

    Well, it's been a while!
    W6D3 done - so I started jogging indoors on the Friday, then 8 minutes' in got a phone call about a reunion that a friend and I were hosting that evening. So that put paid to that jog, and the rest of the day was spent sorting out stuff for the reunion. The next day I went on holiday with my mum to Spain - had such a lovely time, and no jogging then. We got back yesterday, and spent the rest of the day sorting out admin. Today I got back to my house from my parents', and did W6D3. Maybe it's the lack of recent exercise, but while my muscles didn't hurt much on the run (tummy hurt a fair bit, though), my legs are now quite sore. Tomorrow I might take a bath and see if that soothes them. Maybe should've gone back to an easier run to break into it again...

    I was exhausted by the end of the 25mins, more so than I did a few days ago. Then again I've felt really tired all day, and am still feeling drowsy. I overslept a bit which maybe didn't help, I might have an early night and see if I feel more alive tomorrow.
