Making progress

I'm so pleased as I'm now up to Week 7 Run 2. I never thought I would reach this point as I couldn't run up a flight of stairs when I started. Some runs seem more challenging than others but that must be tied up with diet/sleep/weather changes and I'm still managing each run ok although yesterday my c25k app paused but mapmyrun was still going and I inadvertently ran 5k which took me 31mins. Even though I was supposed to run for 25mins I found it ok running for longer but i was a little cheesed off as i could've risked injury suddenly running for longer. I will remain on the program and keep building up but overall I'm actually astounded at my progress.

Wow my first 5k was 42 mins so you’re doing pretty well. And I’ve still only got it down to 37mins after a year. Go you but try to stick to the programme so you don’t injure yourself
