Wk5 run2....... Tick! :-)

[Potty]

I managed my wk5 run 2 tonight... So pleased! Felt fairly up for the first run when it came around and was surprised when Laura said I only had 60 seconds to go the second run was a test of will power though... Started at the turn into my 'hill' and continued for more than 4 mins... UPHILL!!! Did it though!

Well done. The sense of achievement is great.

well done and uphill too. you are a super star most of us avoided hills like the plague during C25K

Well done Potty, hills are hard aren't they? I did C25K in a hilly area too, little steps is the way to go.. xxx

Well done. Running is about will power or mental strength at this stage. But you did it and on a hill too. Now for run 3, I'm sure you will breeze through it and then have a great sense of achievement. Keep going.

Well Done. I did my Week 5 Run 2 last night too. I live on the coast so it isn't hilly but it is windy. The wind was in my face during the second run and as you said it was all a matter of will. I can't believe that only 5 weeks ago I thought running for 1 minute was difficult. Roll on Friday

Well done you! Great work! I'm always surprised when Laura says that there are only 60 seconds left too! But then those end up being the L-O-N-G-E-S-T 60 seconds of my life!!! LOL :oD

Uphill?!?! How brave! Run 3 will be a doddle. I'm saving hills until after Wk 9.

Thank you all for your positive vibes and encouragement! I'm kind of excited about run 3 on Saturday but a little apprehensive too... 20 minutes is a big leap from 2x8 and... yes... the 'hill' is likely to kick in with about 7 minutes to go and I'll have to run the whole of it plus some... erk! Thanks again for the encouragement, hope to report back positively on Saturday and Stef, I take it you're doing your run 3 on Friday? Good luck
