OMG how did I get here? How did I get from running 40 seconds and feeling like I could feint to running for 30 minutes???? Today was quite a challenge though, the humidity was high and I was already pretty exhausted after helping the hubby deconstruct our kitchen ready for building work and a new one...but...there's only One more run and that's it.....Laura and I will have to say goodbye....but not forever...because that 8ks is calling......anyone else got just the last one to do???

Oooh exciting! You'd better start preparing your speech 🙂
I know what you mean - I still think the first week was the hardest. I didn't get to week 9 because a friend coaxed me into a park run at the beginning of week 8, and I managed the whole 5k - in 41 minutes though! I'm working through the Speed podcasts now - they're actually quite enjoyable, something I thought I'd never be able to say about running! Good luck😊
Hey well done kmjbragg - the first week was definitely the hardest and without the encouragement of the group and thinking about revealing the secret training to my daughter on the real Central Park run day...well I think i would have given up long, long ago! Brill work with the Park Run...my mates have talked me into my first one on Saturday coming.....I'll come back and let the group know how I did - wish me luck x

Exciting.... the badge is being polished as we speak!
Well done for getting out there..I love the mornings, although they are, as you say, humid.
Laura will be there if you want her too, C25K+ podcasts, many of us have found useful at times... and lots of new running adventures await!
