Week 8 done - whoo hoo!

So finished week 8 this morning. It’s my 3rd attempt at C25K. First time - two years ago - I got injured, demotivated and gave up. Second attempt I had to give up as a course of radiotherapy and running don’t go well together- apparently! This time I am going to make it! Ok it may take me 13 weeks rather than 9 but who’s counting! When I was really struggling to run for 3 minutes I could not have believed I would run 28 minutes without stopping. THIS PROGRAMME WORKS!!! So roll on week 9. It’s probably going to take me a little longer than a week to get to run 3 but looking forward to posting about graduation.

This forum has helped so much. Thank you my virtual run buddies.
