Eeeep i did it, ran for 8 mins twice. It was early 6:30am as i couldn't sleep, and i shook like a leaf afterwards, I'm guessing it was because i hadn't eaten, so won't do that again. But i smashed it, so pleased. Now i won't be able to do run 3 until Sunday as i have a very important wedding to go to. Happy running C25Kers. πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Good run for you Newpotato, what would the bride and groom think of you if you told them "I can't come to your wedding as I have to do run 3 of C25K???!!", of course, you will attend the wedding, I hope you have a great time at the wedding, good luck to the bride and groom and you can run 3 of week 5 on Sunday.

I can indeed. As the bride is my daughter, she would be pretty peeved 😁. The wedding is definitely more important, and i am very excited. πŸ‘°πŸΌπŸ€΅

O how lovely, your daughter is the bride, may I wish her and her future husband all the very best.

Maybe after they come back from their honeymoon you could get them to join you on C25K.

I've been avoiding doing it all day but ... Just done it and feeling like a legend! I truly believe I can do this 5k malarkey now. Well done on your run too :)
