Wk8 in the bag!

[Gmt_74]

After the shaky start of an aborted run 1, week 8 is now in the bag! Even squeezed out an extra 45seconds at the end of run 3. Oh, and I have signed up to do a 10k in June! Bring on week 9!

Good for you Gmt_74 (like your username, what happens when the clocks change to BST) on completing week 8 of C25K, you seemed to have enjoyed that run so much that you added 45 seconds to it. Onwards and upwards to week 9 and good luck for your training regarding the 10K in June.

Thank you, I've always tried to add a bit on my last run of a week in preparation for the next week...it just gives me the confidence when starting run 1 of the new week, just closing the gap and making the step up smaller.

Thank you, please persevere, you will get your confidence back...🙂

Thanks Gmt - not going anywhere (except out running 😄)

Good morning BCK, its a bit windy where I live but at 9 o'clock I'm going to walk and perhaps run a little of the ButtercupKid 5K trail, I'll take a few more photos of other parts I have not taken before, I am just now getting ready to go. 😊

Hope you have a great time. Looking forward to seeing your photos x

Ha. Remember when 45 seconds of running seemed like almost Eternity? 😂 How far you have come. 🎉And Newbies please note the casual reference to an aborted run in there amidst the success. The only failure is not starting. All the rest is the road to success. Well done Gmt_74 for showing the way. 👏🏼👍👏🏼
