  • Are you planning ahead for next month?

    Here is our thread: September Exercise Challenge

  • target: gym, sailing, walking - 8x total
    result: 4x gym, 4x sailing, walking - 8x total

    so I hit my goal

    I discovered this month that the "Couch to 5K" thing that I'd been sort of aiming for is really "Couch to 30mins of Running" but that it doesn't sounds as catchy & they don't really expect you to run 5km you'd have to be reasonably fit already to run 5km in 30mins with just a couple of months' running training. but anyway, I can run 5km now - not very fast, but without walking - so I'm quite pleased with myself.

    well done flower1 & gardenerjoy for hitting your goals too.
