Just finished week 6 run 1! From somebody who only a couple of months ago couldn’t run for more than a minute this is a big achievement.
I wouldn’t say my body ever feels comfortable whilst running but it now takes me at least 4 minutes before I look at my watch to see how long I’ve got left to run. Still haven’t experienced runner’s high which is kind of annoying.
Just hope my progress continues and I do complete this by the end of June.

After realizing that a woman was running, race organizer Jock Semple went after Switzer shouting, “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers.” However, Switzer’s boyfriend and other male runners provided a protective shield during the entire marathon.The photographs taken of the incident made world headlines, and Kathrine later won the NYC marathon with a time of 3:07:29.
