I’ve only gone and done it 🎉🙌🏽😀

Okay it wan’t pretty and it wasn’t fast, in fact it was ugly and slow but I did it.

Truth be told this was the first week where I was really scared and when Michael Johnson said that I had finished the first 5 minutes I swore at him as it felt so much longer but I persevered and that is WEEK 5 in the bag! Can’t begin to express how pleased and proud I am.

To all the runners who are either just starting C25K or are already on the journey, keep going, 5 weeks ago I didn’t think I could do this but now I have and if I can, then anyone can. The plan is genius and all you have to do is trust it.

Huge well done.. this run..really is..just another run:)

You did really well.. and now you know... anticipation and not apprehension...:)

Take it steady and slow into next week... trust the plan and have faith in yourself....each run is different, each run tests a different discipline in our running, and each run follows the one before.

You are ready for each and every one:)

Well done on your milestone run.

W6R1 is trickier than it looks, so take care.

Keep running keep smiling.

Thanks for the heads up re W6R1 yes it was trickier but being aware helped and I completed it, onwards and upwards (or maybe forwards 😀) but will continue to enjoy the running!
