That was a good run! A lot better than Wednesday in every way. I ran a little bit further and burned more calories! πŸ˜œπŸ‘

Last of the 28 minute runs. πŸ˜‰πŸ˜€

Three more runs next week and that will be the C25K course complete. Then it's just a matter of getting out and getting the 5K distance done, as I am not quite there yet.

See how far I get when the runs are 30 minutes.

I've got a weight check the day before my last run, so it will be interesting to see just how far I have come since I started this life change. πŸ˜‰πŸ‘

Great job... into that victory lap you go!

Was the last weight check just weight or also body fat? You’ve certainly made huge progress on the fitness... hope you get the numbers you want.

I'm going to ask the nurse about the body fat check as well when I see her next Thursday. I know I have gone from a 48" waist to a 44" already and possibly less than that.

I am not was thinking as well while I was on my run today, "I have never had a stitch in any of my runs." I used to always get them as a youngster. So that's an indication of my fitness as well well.

Thanks for ALL your encouraging words over these 8 weeks.

Wow... 4 inches is huge! Great job there!

Lack of stitches does have some basis in fitness level and also hydration... good to hear you’re not getting them.
