Had to take my boy to the vet today after our run on Tuesday. He has artheritis in his knee now as well as his hip.

No more running for him

Really sorry to hear that Sofartogo. I am sure he will miss his runs out with you x

Updating as I forgot to last night....It was very warm last night so I waited until 8pm, still a bit too warm for me to run in

:cry: I went out running before and ended up falling over what I thought was rubble but turned out to be some concrete! so I have grazes to both hands and really bad ones on both knees! what a stupid cow I am!!! one knee is very swollen as well and both are very painful..GUTTED!

 

[Sofartogo!]

Oh no dewinter! Not good! Don't let it set u back though, you're so close! are u the only one running these days???

Where has everyone gone? X

 

[eatwell]

Still here and running. Don't seem to be able to get past the 4 mile mark but I am getting faster.

 

[Charmel]

I'm still here! Just stuck on W2 waiting for my knee to heal...

 

[Sleepy59]

I'm here and running as well. Haven't managed a run since last Thursday because I have been so tired in the evenings.

 

[Dewinter]

Thank you Sofartogo. I just need to take a few days rest I think as my knees are a mess at the moment. I was gutted as I really want to finish the plan before I go on holiday in 4 weeks.

 

[HPSaucy]

I'm still lurking but not running, finished my last run and then when I did the first one "off plan" I hurt my back, I know it was weeks ago but not gone back to it, been going to gym but need to start running again as Fun Run in a month aaah!

 

[biggysmalls]

Sorry to hear that, Dewinter!

I'm still here, still running.....Yesterday was Week 6 Day 1
I had a really bad day yesterday, tied, emotional, grumpy. Then I got out of work and saw the rain...I REALLY did't want to go out running but figured it could only make me feel better after the day I'd had. And it really did!! I always used to ignore people who spoke so positively about exercise. Now, I'm convinced. I think that the C25k thing has worked where previous initiatives have failed for me because:

I can do it on my own and don't feel like I'm competing with anyone/holding anyone back
It's manageable, progressive, starts with baby steps etc.
I'm thinking about HEALTH and my heart and my general fitness, and not just my weight (Actually haven't lost any weight since starting the programme but hey ho)
I feel short term benefits to my mood
I'm challenging myself

I really would recommend this programme to anyone.

I agree with that 100% too. I have noticed a change in my mood & my energy levels since starting the plan & apart from anything else I am thoroughly enjoying just getting out on my own for a while

That's week 3 finished but I'm nervous about moving on to week 4 as its seems to be quite a jump. In saying that I found this week ok but was wondering if any of you hit a point that you found moving on a struggle? I am hoping I'll surprise myself when the time comes
