Well we're ready to go red cape and pants on .Okay on a more genuine note out at 4.50 standing on the door step start Laura why am I on week 1 luckily I check what I am doing before I start reset to week 8 and we're off nice and slow oh look red sky in the morning just carry on it won't bother me yet keep plodding along got the you've run for 5 mins then 2 mins of pain as I get Julie but she's soon gone no one out this morning but the snails and I can leave them in my wake done past my house and then I have about 10 mins left keep on going this one's nearly done 5 minutes left Laura's says you might feel a little knackered I did but it was the last run of the week back down towards my house 1 minute burst and you're done . Two days rest now and a long soak tonight and its week 9 and 30 minutes. Nearly have the key in the door and if fortune favours the brave i should graduate on Friday Hurrah.

Yayy! I am in awe of the fact that you go out at such an early time. Good luck for next week.

Thanks. I plan one day to go out earlier (at the moment I don't work and go out at 9 after my husband has gone to work) - I love the idea of running in the early summer mornings, although I guess it's easy to romanticise it when it's not a necessity!

I am the opposite I dream of going out later but we all do what we must

Try it... it is pleasant... :)Honestly...

I am retired but, right from the start of C25K, I chose to run every morning before 8.. usually before 7.. it is a great beginning to the day and gives you a real head start on things :)
