On Sunday 8th June 2014 I ran and completed the Great Ormond Street Charity, Battersea Park 5K. I am proud to say that this was down to NHS C25K and I completed W9R3 prior to my run.
In scorching hot early morning sunshine and arriving late for the event I ran through the tail end of the competitors and managed a time of 36 minutes which included jogging on the spot waiting for water.
I'm very proud of the medal I received at the end of the event and collecting a few quid for the charity.
I'm thinking of running the London British Heart Foundation one next, In October. But my next goal is C25K+

Hi, thank you for your reply and congratulations on your first run too. I think I'm on a high too. Went to the gym this morning and although I was motivated I found it a tad boring and wished I had gone for a 5k jog instead.
What race did you enter then? I'm just itching to do the next one
I did the Race For Life in Northampton. Wasn't it hot?! I was really looking forward to running this morning, even got up extra early, but my shins are suffering badly think I'll have to go to the gym later instead, but like you say, it's just not the same. Changed days for me - getting cross because I can't run today - who'd have thunk it?!
Enjoy polishing that medal and planning the next running adventure
