Hi,

Is that Preston Beach in Paignton? I live in Torquay 😊. Just completed week 3 run 2 today but I have been doing it on the treadmill in the gym. I think I need to venture outside. Well done on your run.

It is!!!! I parked at the harbour at Paignton and ran to Preston... walked for 5 mins and ran back for 8 mins. I had been hiding at Meadfoot and running backwards and forwards but just went for it today! Beautiful! I live in Torquay too... keep in touch and let me know if you make it out or if you need a buddy!

I WAS so pleased with myself

But not so sure now Knee hurts boobs sore - even after a bath - with Radox Muscle Soak

Hoping that's due to a cold that seems to be coming my way rather than C25k!!

Aw, hope your cold didn't turn in to anything much. Did you do run 3?

I haven't yet as I've been in London at a conference for the last 2 days

Full of cold but going to crack it tomorrow hopefully

How are you getting on?

Hi - all going ok here, I did the 20 min run on Friday and it was ok, I really surprised myself. Hopefully, you managed to crack it this week!

Did W5R3 on Sat and surprised (astounded, flabbergasted - and all other synonyms) myself by running for 20 mins

W6R1 today after work - people are saying this can be even harder!!
