Today was an odd day. I had lunch at 11 as I knew I wouldn't get another break until 4.30. On the way home I had chocolate as i was so hungry. I didn't have tea as I didn't want to run on a full stomach. I'm not sure if the chocolate gave me energy or made it more difficult. I changed my route and went on a housing estate. It had started to rain so I was fairly sure I wouldn't meet anyone. This made a lot of difference. The first 3 mins was hard, but by the time I got into the first 5 mins I was running somewhere new and didn't know how far I would get, so was surprised when Laura said I was half way through. The last five mins was hardish, but I managed it. Its funny now how long the five minute walk feels. I didn't have any pain in the usual places, but did get a bit of a pain in an ankle (never had that before). I've put ice on it, and its fine now. Onwards and upwards for week 5!!

good for you Personally I don't like running 'blind' - I like knowing where I am going and roughly where the halfway mark is. I'm entering my very first 5K run in November but will be walking and possibly taking a practice run of the course well before the day to get some 'markers' set

Well done africanali on finishing week 4.
It sounds like you are really getting to grips with this c25k programme mate. Nice one!
I also found a new route to run for my last run (w5r1) earlier this evening.
