Run in 2 1/2 parts

I have a friend early in c25k at week 3 so to encourage her I arranged to join her for her run.

Beforehand I ran to her house the long way and did 2.2 miles, did her run then ran the short way home 3/4 mile.

Loving the freedom of doing my own thing ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

BLooming brilliant isnโ€™t it, when you run because you can and you want to!

Itโ€™s an odd thing that I have even moved my regular time for haircut just so I can do park runs first if I want to ๐Ÿ˜‚

I love doing that. Got an errand to run? Run there the long way, then walk back to cool down. Multi tasking at it's finest. The dentist gets a bit surprised!

Whoโ€™d have thought 6 months ago I would have planned my morning to get a run in, all before walking to hairdressers appointment at 11.00 and after walking my dog at 6.00!

Itโ€™s so good to be able to run how you want to, and how kind of you to support your friend with her C25K journey. ๐Ÿ˜€

I was there 6 months ago and it was only this forum that gave me the support I needed ๐Ÿ‘

We should be in C25k sales. My son graduated with me last year. I have a work friend who graduated last week and did her first parkrun on Saturday. And another who has stopped C25k at week 3 at least twice and admitted she needs someone to tell her she is running today. So I am now working on taking the twice-stopper out in lunch breaks (beats sitting at a desk). And my daughter who has stalled at W8R3 - will she ever complete? Who's next...

It's very satisfying giving something back to the programme.
