Ive just gone an done it!!...ran my 3rd run of Wk9...woohoo!!

[juliewooly]

cannot believe I am heer, I printed off the chart to help visualise what was in front of me as I started this programme, on the Monday 3rd Feb after 6pm (had to be dark as I wasn't confident) ... 1st run I thought what am I doing??....(been 30yr fae av run!)...but kept with my 6pm runs. Became a ritual ..lol

came on line. Read up on peoples journeys/challenges and the support that was given helped me through the programme. without I don't think I would have seen this to the end.

have had some great runs. Feeling on a high..lol

and some major brick wall moments....

but I kept with it re-running a few ..which I felt I needed to do

And heer I am to day. Just in from my last run in Wk9..and I have an amazing feeling of..

"I DID IT...I REALY DID IT!!"

Am going to stick with Wk 9 Run 3 for a while ..enjoy my journey of 0-30 min run in 12wks...lol

then when I feel ready to move on am going to give the stepping stone/speed and stamina a go... a don't want this to end..ever..its such an amazing feeling after a run..it lifts your moods. Feel better about yourself. Feeling of achievement...

So 18th May..Race For Life...I am coming to get you..lol.

(The reason why I started this C25K)

so....Onwards and Upwards....Things are gony Get Better...woohoo..!!!

Have a fantastic wk-end folks....
