Week 7 completed πŸ˜€! Found run 1 really hard, 2 and 3 much easier possibly because I decided to do them at the gym on the treadmill. But they're done. Week 8 starts on Saturday and I can't believe I've only got 6 runs to go until I graduate!

This is the 4th time I've attempted C25k and this time I'll complete it πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

Thank you. I still find it hard to believe that I am actually enjoying running. In the past I've always come up with excuses like 'oh I'm asthmatic I shouldn't run' or ' high impact stuff doesn't agree with me' and here I am being disappointed that I don't have time to go out and run again until Saturday!

4th time, well sometimes love takes a while to take root..

But sounds like you've got it...

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing the groundwork. Now you have the foundations dug - the rest will come naturally - (not necessarily easily - but natural progression). Keep on going - you've got this.

Keep it slow and steady and you will be fine:) Just go with the runs gently as they get longer, and start to find your happy pace:)
