I know I can do it


For a while now I have been losing weight following the Weight Watchers' plan. Recently it's been really succesful. I decided about two months ago that it wasn't enough just to lose weigh, I needed to work on my fitness level. At that time I could not run a hundred yards without being completely out of breathe. One evening I decided I needed to test myself so I got my kit on and jogged around the local lane, the princely distance of a mile. It about killed me. Two days later I tried again just to prove to myself it wasn't a fluke: I succeded again. Within a week I could jog just under three miles, it felt like a really big achievement. I did this a couple of times and then progresseed it to four miles.Within another two weeks I managed six miles. The bug had really bitten .My wife whose previous running achievement was under a hundred yards began running and she too was up to three miles.
So into the running we even did it on holiday, until I got a bloody massive blister from me flip flops on the beach.
