The weather was not in my favour today so I took to the gym, I was unsure if I could manage 30 minutes on the treadmill but I thought I'd give it a go, I set my goal to 5k knowing I could never get to it in 30 minutes and I didn't but I pushed through and actually ran for 42 minutes, I can't quite believe it, yes that's very slow but I'm so chuffed I actually managed a whole 5k, this programme has been great, I would never of believed it 9 weeks ago. I've even registered to do a park run this weekend. Keep going everyone.

Well done. My first 5k (also on a treadmill) took 50 minutes! But like you I was very chuffed. :)

Three cheers for C25k.
