Well my last (but one) run (Sunday) was pretty successful. I'd managed to run 3k without stopping. My previous best was about 2.5k
Today I decided to tweak the route to avoid a tricky gate that always stopped me and stole momentum.
So, I set off running and settled down into a steady pace ...
I ran past the trees where I wheezed in week 1 ...
I ran past the cattle grid where I walked in week 2 ...
I ran past the 3k mark where I was flummoxed by the gate in week 3 ...
... and kept going. The nearer I got to 4k, the more determined I was to keep going ...
... so I passed 4k and my dream of doing 5k was in reach! So, I kept the pace steady (no crazy moves) and carried on, past the School and the watch beeped for 5k!!!
I still didn't stop running until I reached home, 5.7k and a whisker under 34 mins!
I'm absolutely over the moon. I haven't run for 30 years (school!) and just a month ago, I couldn't run more than about 300m, but C25k has absolutely changed me!
Woohoo! I'm still high as a kite!
