Well I’ve just finished run two week nine and as I struggled through the last two mins “the final countdown” started to play. I almost managed a smile but not quite- more of a “thank god” grimace!!

So.... I’ve almost done it. One run left. I really just can’t believe it.

Well done! remember slow and steady will get you through.. but as you're nearing the end of c25k, you can see what you have left in the tank by opening the taps and upping the pace about 30secs from the end of the run.. of course, if you want to..😊

Teacher development. Glad I don't go to them any more. The joys of supply teaching! I only work in one school as I get plenty of work !

Awesome Jan, the next one will be special im sure. I decided to take it all in, picked my favourite done run started nice and slow, have a reward as your goal afterwards (mine was a few beers out at night n a meal). Youve done all the hard work just keep telling yourself youve earned it cos you gave. Enjoy your day cant wait for your next post.
