And so, after nearly 10 months since I started CT5K and no less than 58 runs and months of downtime due to various injuries, I have FINALLY completed week 9/run 3, injury free, yay!!! This morning I bagged the whole 5k run in 30.02, carrying my thin tall frame as gracefully as a wildebeest with my favourite band pumping up the ear plugs, as the 1970' bands normally do. For me this is massive, and if any self doubters out there please believe in yourselves, if I have pulled this through then the doors are open for everyone. Thank you for all your support, I will carry on running for as long as possible, never thought I'd fall in love with it like this :)))
Third Time Lucky: And so, after nearly 10 months... - Couch to 5K
