Was not looking forward to the 20min run, was not sure if i could get through it.

The rain stopped and a bit of sunshine came through so thought ok lets go for it.

Started to run and for the first time i think i felt great, legs felt strong breathing was normal, and thats when i knew i can do this.

About the 18 min mark did tire a little but kept on going, then i heard the words you have done it.

checked Edmondo when i got in and it says 5k 29:33. when i started on 1st of Jan it was 37min.

Might not have to walk most of the Great Manchester Run after all.

Love this C25K, it really does work.
