Yayyyyyyy! Did it!

All best intentions of getting up early and doing the run before it got hot failed.

Was sooooo sooooo nervous about this run but I just did it. Yayyyyy!!!!

For those who still have it to come, I built it up in my head to be bigger than it was. We are ready for it by the time it gets here. Next run Sunday.

To all those running today enjoy πŸ˜€

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs after the non stop 20 minutes of W5R3 which you have just ran πŸƒ 😊 πŸ‘

I'm one ahead of you, w6r1 is so much easier on the mind, just more of what you're used to, I actually thought I had another five minutes to go when Jo Whiley told me to stop!

That’s encouraging. Thank you

You still enjoying it? Who’d have thought we would be here a few weeks ago eh??!!

Not sure enjoying it is the right term, but it does give an amazing sense of achievement. I’m genuinely astonished at what we can now do now.

Not what you're looking for?
