It is official. I am a runner.

Laura said so, so it must be true.

Week 6 Run 3 came and went. A bit of a struggle for the first 5 until I realised that for some reason, I wasn't breathing normally.

When I concentrated on the breathing I started to get into my stride. Middle third was great (cooling drizzle) and the last third was ok. I even managed to speed up a bit over the last 3 or 4 minutes.

I had it in my mind that I might break the 5k today but alas, it was not to be but I am happy with 4.78km. Hopefully next week.

Good luck to fellow C25Krs out there today.

WOW I am impressed,

So close, I look forward to hearing that you have hit 5k.

Next week, victory will be yours!

Thanks pastort. I never expected to be running for so long in just 6 weeks. An amazing programme.

I know the 5k will come in its own time. Maybe next week

[Azores Graduate]

Congratulations and you are doing it really fast too. Definitely a runner.

[runner56 Graduate in reply to Azores]

Thank you azores. Anyone seeing me run would beg to differ

Well done, you must feel chuffed at having got the toughest week of the programme behind you. You are not far off that 5K either - once you get used to the solid runs I reckon you'll hit the 5K sooner rather than later. For now, have a good rest, good luck with your next run and best wishes.

You did warn me that it would be tought fitmo and you were right!

Quite glad to see the back of it. All running from now on in. I cannot quite believe I am 2/3rds of the way through and am only 5 minutes from that magical 30 mark.

Thanks for your help and support
