Week 4 completed :) I am very happy :D

[IgaT]

Very nice midday run One extra rest day made some miracle changes. Probably long sleep helped as well, in the end muscles are made in bed

Sun was shining straight to my eyes, making everything brighter and with this "holy" areolas. I was going nice and steady. I managed to pace myself very good after first 3 minute run, when my body was in process of switching from lazy to jogging. Yes, I think today I was properly jogging

At the end of the last run, my dog decided that I should finish strong with some sprint, as she went full speed to a father with 2 children playing frisby (I think). I managed

Thank you all for yesterday support. Without you, my morale would be very low.

Happy running everybody! Remember, be gentle to yourself and sometimes an extra day is exactly what your body needs

Great job. I don’t need to come and get you tomorrow then 😂

[IgaT Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

No, I was too afraid

But seriously, thank you. I am sure you would somehow show up on my doormat or next to my bed dragging me out in my trainers

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to IgaT]

Yeah, could have taken a while as I did ever increasing circles from my house but I’d have got there eventually 😂

I'm so pleased Iga was watching out for a post like this, after yesterday. Never doubt your tenacity

[IgaT Graduate in reply to icklegui]

It wasn't easy to get out. I woke up later, and groceries occured to be tiring due to loads of people in the Sainsbury's. So I took another XX minutes to get myself together and push myself out the door. My doggie got so excited when I was getting ready that I didn't have the heart to leave her behind. She behaved very well So it made the run more pleasurable. I am so so happy that I went out, that I took my dog, that I started C25K, that I joined this forum with so many amazing people

Thank you

[Marcia-H Graduate]

Yeah!!!!!! So pleased for you! And a big well done! Even the dog is telling you, you can do things you don’t think you can!!! Well done doggie!

Muscles are made in bed-I love that!

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Marcia-H]

It is very popular quote about importance of rest: "Muscles are torn in the gym, fed in the kitchen, and built in bed".

My doggie is a huge black optimistic motivator. So many times I felt sluggish and lazy, and then I see this pure happiness of going out and having fun, running around, and spending time together doing something together. I've noticed that my bond with her got stronger since I started to run with her

Running is giving me more than I expected <3

Well done for getting out there and beating week 4 IgaT. So great to see you’re happy with your run and it’s lovely that you feel you have a stronger bond with your dog 🐕

Now for week 5 😀

Well done, I completed wk4 this morning too, feels so good and seems to be getting a bit easier. Actually looking forward to wk5 now, we can do this!

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Running-nana]

I know many people get really anxious before W5R3, I just cannot wait to show myself that I can do it! I know programme is preparing our bodies well, now we need to conquer our minds

[Wolvesmad Graduate]

Well done you I knew you would do it

Good luck we'll need it

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Wolvesmad]

We don't need luck, we can do it and we will! Just watch us!
