Week 2 Run 3

I’ve been feeling quite emotional this week due to losing my father-in-law to cancer last Saturday. Today, I just did not want to get out of bed after a sleepless night. When I eventually did at 10.30am, which is so late for me, I went straight out for a run. Really tiring but looks like my pace increased. Amazing what you can do if you push against the mental barriers. Now onto Week 3 👍🏻

Sorry about losing your father in law to cancer CAFC62 but well done on completing week 2 of C25K. Just take your runs slow and steady, good luck for your runs. Onwards and upwards to week 3.

So sorry for your loss. Also getting out for a run may help to clear your mind a bit and hopefully help you with day to day things good luck 😊

Sorry for your loss. Am sure your father in law would be feeling very proud of you for getting out there today.
