A few of you wanted to know what I look like so here is my photograph. I don't know what all the fuss is about, I'm finding C25K a doddle and I have to drag Slowstart along. She's constantly telling me to slow down or nagging me to stop sniffing but this just makes me pull her further and faster. I even go for a run in the fields when the podcast finishes so I must be super fit.

Now, I think i'm doing twice as much work because I have twice as many legs as you so does my 5K count as 10K

Hello Lucy!! What a lovely little coat you're wearing. I think that 5K is a fit distance not determines by how little or by how many legs you have, but you sound super fit!! <3

Slowstart, thank you so much for posting this!!! :-D

She has a flashing harness when we run but I haven't got any photos of this. She comes to work with me and runs around the yard so this high vis is purely for safety reasons when the lorries are around.

She wouldn't do this without me now but did threaten to leave me at home when she first started as she thought I got in her way.

Aw bless! I love dogs too!!

I burned my fat bum off by dog walking so I could hopefully get fit enough to run with the dog, as he pulled my arms off on our walks. I can now run with him. Yayyyyyyyyyy! He's not mine though, just borrowed for fitness purposes

It's a good thing if the dog is always up for a run (or walk) as their enthusiasm is catching and transfers up the lead I always think

I hope you have lots of fun along the way. Enjoy x

Hahaha, Lucy you are a champion! But why the raincoat? I thought Spaniels like the water?

Love the water, especially muddy puddles which I insist on lying down in.

This is my work vest for when I'm playing down the yard so the lorries don't hit me, I find it totally embarrassing but I'd rather wear it than stay indoors.
