I've done it!!! 😁😁😁😁

Wow, I just ran for 20 minutes non stop, I don't think I have ever done that before, not even in school! This really is a lifetime first!!

Had a false start, the c25k app had decided to update and forced me to select a goal, but I couldn't do this without an Internet connection - so watch out for this if you use it - i start it a few mins after I leave the house so the actual run begins after I've crossed a busy main road... Ended up walking back home to get the app to work, then restarting.

And then Spotify wouldn't play my run playlist...

But, these things were overcome, nothing was going to stop me and it didn't!!!!

Sitting here now with a cup of tea and a huge grin on my face, waiting for my family to wake up so I can tell them 😁😁😁😁

Congratulations, you deserve your cup of tea, run 3 of week 5 is a milestone run with C25K, once you have ran it, you will be be very proud of yourself as you now are, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks 🚢 and runs πŸƒ
