Another three sessions brings us to the end of week three. This weeks sessions were noticeably a lot harder for me and the last run of each session really required me to focus and push through my desire to give up and walk! I did it though and am quite proud of myself. Two of the three runs this session were double the length of last weeks and it did feel like a pretty big jump, but you really do feel a massive sense of achievement when you get through each one and the shorter runs feel like a breeze!
The second session this week was probably the hardest one I have done so far; we decided to do a body balance exercise class to compliment our running the night before our second run. As it turned out, the class was pretty intense and difficult for beginners and left us with lots of sore muscles which made it harder to keep on going through the tougher bits. Luckily, we had a couple of days before the final session and had just about recovered before it was time to put on the trainers again. We are planning to carry on the body balance class (exercising four times a week... Unheard of for me!) in the hope it will tone up and strengthen our muscles.
This week, I've noticed a change in my body too. As well as doing the Couch to 5K plan, I've joined a Slimming World to shift some extra weight after my Mum and Auntie joined and did so well there. They have both inspired me so much that I really want to become healthier. I've lost weight steadily so far and with my exercising, I've also lost inches around my waist and hips. I've got a long way to go, but I feel like I've come so far in just three weeks that I'm feeling quite positive (and very nervous) about next weeks sessions!
