W9R3 OMG I ACTUALLY MADE IT :-)

Well for a girl that never follows anything through, I'm pretty amazed at myself for doing this and more importantly finishing it. For good measure I had to change my route today as the road I have to cross was very busy and I couldn't get over it, so I ran up the big hill, I'm sure I was running more slower than normal but nope my pace was 11:45 last time 12:07. Im getting quicker too. So for anyone starting out and thinking, I'll never run for 30 minutes, trust the programme. To all the bloggers and fellow runners that have inspired and encouraged me along the way, I just want to thank you. I'm off for a shower and a well earned bacon butty.

Not sure yet. I know for enjoyments sake 5k is about as far as I want to run. I've ran 10ks and 1/2's and didnt enjoy it. So i think I'm going to build up to reaching 5k but remember to enjoy why I'm doing it, if that makes sense?

in reply toSOULY47

Sounds good to me Souly, makes absolute sense. Keeping it enjoyable is an important factor for me too. Have a nice relaxing weekend 🙂
