Yippee.... I did it.... Week 5 run3

Thank you all that advised me on my last run.

I headed out for week 3 completely out of whack! Having been at work all day I was already tired. Normally I go out before dinner, but a family roast was on the table so had to eat first, plus I had to jog a different route and had been really rubbish with my water intake.

Headed out after lots of talks to one's self thinking, I'll give it my best shot, and if I don't complete at least I have tried.

But I surprised myself. I remembered all the advise every time I felt a struggle. I slowed down, thought about my posture and didn't get hung up on being a mouth breather. It was great. 2 mins left was my dig deep moment, not helped by my lace coming undone. But I was determined not to stop so keep going with one loose running shoe!

Actually starting to feel that I will complete this programme and run 5k eventually. Even registered with park run.... Although won't be venturing to any events just yet.

Thank you all and hello week 6!😘

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 🏃

Enjoy parkrun once you have completed C25K, although you can take part before that.
