A pleasant suprise

So I went for a week 4 run 1 - run today.. I was very apprehensive about running for 5 minutes none stop - and looking forward to a 10 minute run in a few weeks was really scaring me.. however; my daughters come with me sometimes and cycle as I run, a few seconds after starting the 5 minute section my daughter asked what song I was listening to so I unplugged my headphones so she could listen too: this paused be C25K app. This I did not know, two songs later and I’m really feeling the burn so I pull my phone out my pocket to see the app is paused with 4 1/2 mins of the first 5 minute run left, rather that stop I resumed the app and carried on running - completed the whole of today’s run and then checked the length of the songs - a total of 7 minutes - plus the 4 1/2 minutes on the app means I did a straight 11 1/2 minutes.. without stopping (safe o say I’m no longer fearing my 10 minute block next week)

Brilliant! If you're going to trick yourself into it that's a great way! Congrats on the 10+ mins, it seems like a long way away for me yet!
