Can't believe I ran for 30 minutes!!

I have been following the C25K programme on the treadmill but today I decided on a 2nd attempt OUTSIDE after a disastrous run a couple of weeks ago. This time my breathing was under control and my pace steady from the outset, my speed only slightly less as well. I'm well chuffed with myself. I have always admired people out running and wished I could do that - now I know I can. Next run Week 9 Run 3 and graduation. Happy running to you all ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ

Great to hear! I'm also doing the programme on a treadmill but do intend to start running outside soon. I really hope I manage to make the transition as smoothly as you!
