Week 6 run 3

It is done! I ran for 25 minutes πŸ™‚ I won't say it was all plain sailing. It seemed a shorter spell getting from 5 to 12.5 minutes than from 12.5 to 20 minutes I thought the 5 minutes to go was never going to happen! But I ran the whole thing, only wish I could take an hour nap now πŸ˜‚ But off to collect my very lively 7 year old from school - walking of course!

Respect for anyone else who has made it this far, especially those of us carrying more than a few extra pounds.......

Of course you can do it! I am classed as clinically obese, having said that I don't weigh myself anymore so I may have dropped into very overweight. I am slow it I am doing it 😊

I'm combining c25k with weight watchers, it isn't easy and I'm not the fastest looser but I'm giving it my best shot! I don't like looking at my bmi :(

The longer it takes the better chance of keeping it off! So important to remember there are so many health benefits to running. Weight is just a small part of a much bigger picture 😊

Well done :) keep going you are doing just fine
