Week 1
I completed my second run of week one this evening. I've been using the NHS podcasts on my ipod. Both runs were quite fun and I managed them, but yesterday I was so stiff from the run that my manager at work noticed that I was limping. Luckily this is all muscles not being used to exercise pain rather than doing myself a mischief pain. Today's run already felt a bit easier than my first run and I stretched after this run, so hopefully I'll be less stiff tomorrow.
So far I've run near my flat and luckily there is a sort of round cul-de-sac thing near where I live so I can run round and round it without having to cross any roads. I think today I covered about 3.7 km including the warm up and warm down. I'm going to try running at different times and in different places to see what I like, so on Thursday I'm going to take my running clothes into work and run in the park nearby either at lunchtime or before work.
I'm finding it fun.

Stiffness, ugh, with any luck it'll go away once you get into the habit of doing this regularly.
Good luck finding some good places to run. My first few runs at the beginning of the programme I was doing round and round a smallish patch of grass, but soon needed to branch out so that I wasn't covering the same ground quite so many times, even if it meant having to travel a bit further from my front door.
