Week 8....is this really ME?

So, I did my Week 8 Run 1 yesterday. 28 minutes of non-stop running.

I know I'm not the only one to think, "Is this really happening? Did I really do that?"

I cannot wait until I get to do Run 2 tomorrow....and I was the person having absolute nightmares about moving from Week 1 to Week 2....running for 60 seconds almost did me in, lol!

I am darn proud of myself. And doubly proud of each and every one of YOU who push yourself to do your next week, take that leap, and find it within yourself to do it. We rock, people. Let's DO this!

Well done! Everything about C25K keeps me wanting to go on! The actual app and this brilliant forum. When I am plodding around the field and finding it tricky I think of all the people who have said, like you,that they found it difficult at times and have gone on and are now at weeks 8 and 9 😊😊😃 go you and everyone on here!

😂 I still ask that question some days even now - 5 months after graduating - especially when I'm getting out of bed early on a weekend to go running.

We all rock and we can do this thing!😊
