running around again

I graduated from C25K last year and I am pleased to say after a winter lay off I have just finished w9r3 (again).

Im hoping to sustain the runs this time. Last year I got to 5k probably too quickly, got injured then slowly lost my running legs over the winter. This time I abandoned Laura and just ran to my playlist. I am determined to take it slowly to 5k then start park runs to sustain this.

Otherwise I will be running around again on C25K in the new year.

The moral of this story is dont give up!
