Wk5R2 - loving it

So today l did WK5R2. I am repeating wk5 as l was unwell for a few days over Easter so couldn't run. I noticed 3 important changes today since l started C25K. Sorry - long post ...

1. I was eager to get out there today despite the rain coming down hard. I had 'missed' running! Wow!!

2. Due to weather l ran straight from home which included some uphills! With the rain pouring l thought it best to be able to straight in shower rather than risk getting cold driving home, as l usually drive 25 mins away to a flat route. Hills no longer terrify me! Big wow!!

3. When l got to the end of my first 8 mins, including an uphill stretch l had plenty left in the tank! I actually wanted to carry on running. I didn't as l have followed the plan to the letter, trust it 100% as its got me this far so l thought best not to get cocky. But biggest wow ever that wanted to keep running!

Ready for Saturday's challenge of my first non stop 20 mins, 🤞 😊. I know its going to be the hardest yet but l have my complete trust in C25K.

Xx
