Oh my god! I am literally in the EXACT same situation (5 weeks and everything!) and I just can't believe it's taken me this long to turn to the magic of drugs! I have been evangelising anyone who will listen because I am just so happy that life, while still challenging, is worth living again. High five for you :D
Still more intelligent than the article itself :/
I thought maybe it meant brain, as in bird brained? But I think I was the bird brained one.
I am like 5 weeks further on in C25k than you, and it does get easier! I always find it helpful to think 'even if I don't manage to do the whole workout/ need an extra break, I've still done more exercise than I would have otherwise' (which would have been 0, because I am a contented slug of laziness). Just commenting to make supportive noises!
I am so full of emotions. I have just gone back to university for my final year. The amount of time I spent obsessing about getting in to this place before I went, combined with the total mental breakdown that was my first year means that I cannot feel anything other than HUGELY on edge about what fresh realms of misery this year will unlock, while still having excessively high expectations that THIS WILL BE THE YEAR that I finally have the Time Of My Life (tm) at this place. Plus, I have to go back to being long distance with my boyfriend and when will that end never because he's going to be an academic. ARGH. Term hasn't even started and I'm already a ball of stress. I just want to go home.
I do wonder about the fallout for the families of people who hear a calling sometimes. Particularly so with Buddhism, given that the original child of a Buddhist - Buddha's son - was given the name 'shackle' because he tethered his dad to worldly attachments :S Enjoy your therapy, kid!
Nothing on earth could induce me to watch that film! It's just like when The Catcher in the Rye was supposed to have summed up the truly universal experience of coming of age or something - ugh!
It's set in a real historical period which has always seemed super interesting but which for some reason doesn't have many novels set in it (thinking of books like The Miniaturist and A Star Called Henry!).
Once I got an email from my grandad with the same subject line, and guess what was in it? A PowerPoint show of pictures of trains, the final slide bearing the words 'going on a journey?'. No explanation. He just thought I should see it.
