Hi folks,

Happy Sunday! I love Sundays! :-)

Once my shopping has arrived I am going to do my first non C25K inspired run. It feels so weird, a bit like going out driving without anyone else in the car!!!! Haha! I must charge up my iPod as it's been redundant while I've been doing stuff with my phone.

It's sunny here at the moment so it might be raining by 1pm but if it is I might just go anyway...........because I can!!!!! :-)

I shall let you know!

As a week 5er you and Saul were my inspiration over the last few weeks - loved your posts! Am looking forward to seeing how you "cope" with graduation - great that you got out there straight away. Enjoy the new skills and go for that runners high!

Wow, it must be great to finally run with your own music rather than with Laura's terrible selection! :D

Haha I never ran with Laura's music as somehow (technophobe here!) I managed the c25k app, runkeeper and my own music!!!! It felt good not to have anyone telling me what to do!!!!! E xxx

Go Elsie!, I just got back from greatrunlocal Needham lake 5k with my daughter, it was a tough one as I've not really run this week due to injury but only lost 2 minutes. Isn't this running lark fun

Fantastic Paul! Sounds great! I can start concentrating more on speed and distance now although I won't be going too mad for the next few weeks. E xxx

Enjoy your first run without Laura! Try running 'naked' at some point too - sometimes it's nice just to hear the stuff around you, especially if you're out in the countryside somewhere.

Not what you're looking for?
