Week 6 Run 3 - I'm a runner.......

............ so says Laura. I didn't have the best preparation for this morning's run as I went out for something to eat last night and had a couple of beers. Still I slept like a baby and was up this morning at 6am.

The first five minutes seemed to be very long but then before I knew it there were only five minutes left to go. At one minute Laura urged me to finish strongly so I did. As I had mis-judged my distance I had run further and so when it came time to finish I was still some way from home. So I kept on running. Because I could.

Any way who would have thought that in 6 short weeks this old body of mine could go from running for a minute to running for 25 minutes. It is quite incredible.

Keep the faith.

Although c25k is an excellent intro into running it's just the start of the journey not the finish! Well done!😊
