Halfway To 5K

Just finished w5 r2 on a beautiful sunny morning. Just me lolloping along with the dawn chorus and Laura. Much nicer than the snow and crosswinds during my first week.

Thanks to all of you- I love this forum. I can't quite believe what a difference the last month has made to my life.

The first run was tough, but now I find myself waiting impatiently for the next run day- I absolutely love it. I feel so full of energy all the while.

On day one, I thought C25k might be a tedious slog, but it's the opposite.

On Tuesday I'll be doing the "testing" w5 r3 - bring it on!

To paraphrase Muhammed Ali - the fights won or lost long before you get in the ring.

I guess you can tell I've got the post-run buzz! Have a great day everyone.

Well done! I aspire to week 5 but I already understand the full of energy bit. Gotta love a post run buzz... enjoy the rest of your day.

Sounds like a great run :-) why didn't anyone tell us about the buzz, we'd have been on the bandwagon long ago!

Well done so far. I loved the last run of W5. Haven't progressed since but that's another story. Keep on running and keep on enjoying 😒
