Went properly slow on this one.

Between 9.5 and 10 minutes /km.

It felt like it was over before it started.

Saving myself for the longer running periods to come! πŸ˜ΈπŸ‘ŸπŸ‘ŸπŸ‘ŸπŸ‘ŸπŸ‘ŸπŸ˜Έ

Even my eldest kitten didn't complain about his aches and pains 😸

Happy running!

Hopefully the nimble ninja Oldfloss likes the image 😸

Run 2 tomorrow... It's only 1 more minute of running than run 1

How hard can it be?

norabzilGraduate in reply to Katnap

well you made run 1 sound like a gentle stroll in the park so I am sure you will cruise it :D

Shouldn't you be taking a days rest in between??

Thanks for looking out for me!

The reason I'm doing c25k is post time on the IC after overdoing my cycling and the doctor at the hospital advising I should do more aerobic exercise such as jogging.

Check out my profile for the long medical words.

Ok this really is a small world because I have MH too!! Diagnosed as a young child when they tried to take my tonsils out and gave me a GA!!

There are so few of us in this world it is funny to come across someone else with it. I don't like the sound of the other issue though, so yes I will look out for you!!

Hope run 2 well ??

Thanks Liz W5R2 has been conquered 😸

The rhabdo was from overdoing it. Apparently MH+ are thought to be more susceptible...

So stay hydrated and avoid pushing hard in hot humid conditions!

Did you have the muscle biopsy test to confirm?

I'm hoping my kittens can have a DNA test from a blood sample and avoid having a scar above the knee like me.

Yeah I had the muscle Biopsy done with my siblings. I also donated blood when they were working towards the DNA blood test, i thought if it helped another family not to have to go through what my poor parents went through it would be worth it. So I hope they can have that done, but if any test positive it is still best to have the biopsy done to 100% make sure.

Today I have conquered Week 5 run 2 but had an accident at training last night and have a huge bruise coming on hip so that was killing me while I was running but I wasn't going to let it stop me ;) But still dreading Run 3!

We're both past the halfway point now!

Just run a bit slower, find your rhythm, and you'll be there in no time

I could Google the phrase but sometimes a bit of mystery is healthy 😸

Something to do with the founder of the Boy Scouts... which unfortunately makes it seem even weirder...!
