Guess what? I ran further than last week, and maybe a tiny bit faster (although not that you'd notice). I even ran a few minutes more and feel fantastic!

So next time I'm thinking I can't be bothered, I'm just going to put my stuff on and go out and put one foot in front of the other and see where I end up. I can't believe how far I've come in nine weeks; if I can do this anyone can

Well done for turning out and running! I have found that the runs I am least looking forward to are often the best runs......either really comfortable and enjoyable, or a good time, or i manage to run longer than previously. Good luck with the 5k!
