Well done on your loss and your race yesterday Lynne! I would love to start running if I can find a decent sports bra that will hold me in enough! I have downloaded the couch to 5k ap and not done anything else yet although I have been doing some Davina workouts which are quite hard and I can feel it the next day.

I've got the couch25K too but found that I kept having to repeat the first day as I was running on my treadmill and kept missing! I now use the Runkeeper app on my phone. I've got a 2 mile route that I follow and just try to run a bit more and improve on my time each time I go out. Have only done it a few times so far though! When I find I am running most of it I'll increase the length of my route and keep doing this. The main problem with where I live in Derbyshire is that it is so hilly!

Well done Lynn on your loss and race for life
Not bad timing either
You can do it... carry on with good work my lovely

 

[Shrimp]

Lynne hills are good...it will make your race for life easy. I still count my steps. People must think I am mad! 500 steps is roughly half a mile for me so if going up hill think " I will run 50 and walk 50" then increase the running steps and reduce the walking steps. You can them reduce the number walking even if its only 5 each time

Forgot to say

a month tomorrow!

I think I'll try that. Sounds a good way to increase how much I run - also to make me do some uphill running! I'm hoping I manage to get up to go running in the morning so will have to go to bed soon.
Today I actually managed a 100% TS day. I'm going to try and see how many days in a row I can keep it up. As an incentive I'm going to start keeping a daily weigh in record in my diary for a week to see how I go.

Sunday (WI) 12st 9lb
Monday STS

Let's hope tomorrow's weigh in is a bit more interesting!

 

[Shrimp]

Fingers crossed...keep us posted

 

[harry m]

Fingers crossed.
You can do it.

Hi Lynne, just catching up on your diary and you are doing great! Wish I could get into running but never could. I see you are daily weighing. I promised myself I wouldn't this week but couldn't help myself. Best of luck for today
