... And I've nailed week 7 !!!!!!!!!!!!! One run before holiday, and now three runs since we've come back. Bruised rib is healing nicely as today's run is the first time I've had a painless run since (ahem) the "accident". It wasn't the easiest of runs as I could feel myself getting hotter, so I made myself run for an extra minute just so those gremlins aren't inclined to shove their oars in again!
This is now the furthest I've got through C25k ....... Cartwheels around the house
Week 8? Bring it on ..............

Thanks Poppy .... It wasn't the easiest of runs as I didn't sleep well last night. However, I now know that I can run for 26 minutes, so I've only got to do 2 minutes more on top of what both I and the gremlins know I can do.
I should point out that the cartwheels were virtual .... no chance of me wielding this body into a cartwheel, even if my posterior is reducing in size! As my youngest would say if I even attempted it "this is going to be a di-sas-ter" ... at least she has a sense of humour!
Hopefully the gremlins will stay stuck in their boxes long enough to let me complete the final 2 weeks in peace
Massive congrats Mamma Mia - well done and glad the bruised rib is healed. And cartwheels around the house is a tremendous way to accidentally break unwanted ornamental gifts from distant relatives but do try not to bruise another rib
Indeed I am forming a new forum 'couch2cartwheel' which I'm sure will surpass c25k. More seriously running that extra minute is definitely a good way to put those gremlins firmly back in their boxes/beds/swamps xx
Many thanks Runon and I'm hoping that your new "forum" for cartwheelers will accept virtual celebrators .... That's all this body can probably manage, or it'll be a train wreck!!
I wanted to prove to the gremlins that I don't obey Laura's every word .... if I want to go on for longer then I will! I'm hoping that the extra minute will stand me in good stead for my next run which will be 28 minutes, and I can already do 26 of them Gremlins can return to whence they they came, didn't ask them what their abode was like so will gladly take all suggestions
