Two weeks off and straight back into it, woohoo!

[BlacksmithsGal]

Having spent the last two weeks laid low with a heavy cold and subsequent chesty cough, I deliberated over whether to pick up where I left off with C25K. My last run, W3R1, was two weeks ago. Would losing 2 weeks mean that I would struggle? Should I go back to W2 or just go for it?

So, yesterday, my 14yo daughter said she would run with me when she got home from school. Late afternoon was gloomy and the air damp, the sort of afternoon for keeping cosy indoors. However, we kitted up with reflective garb and set off. I don't know if it was sheer determination or the fact that I had the company of my lovely girl, but I did it! Plenty of water beforehand and following all the previous advice on keeping it slow made it seem like a breeze. I even had energy during the second 3-min run to put on a spurt of speed to get past an oncoming car that stopped for us to pass on a narrow lane. Completely surprised myself!

Looking forward to the final W3 run tomorrow. I'm just so impressed with this programme.

Well done you and glad you're feeling better. I've decided to give it a rest for now because I was struggling and worrying about the other exercises I wanted to do for skiing. I'm concentrating on those now but as someone once said 'I will be back' . Good luck with the rest of the programme and thanks for your support. ❤️

Thanks for your support too Jansey. If you have to make a choice, I expect the targeted exercise programme will be better for you at this stage, ahead of your ski trip. Look forward to seeing you back here at some point 🤗 xx
