W3 R1 done phew

[DevonBluebird]

Am so pleased - had psyched myself up quite a bit for the first 3 minute run, but it was ok! Never could have imagined I could do it. Was lovely leaving husband and children in their beds at 6.30 & heading out in the dark to see the sunrise - am lucky to be near the sea so it was beautiful (& lots of other runners walking- maybe C25k ers too!)

Luck to you all on your runs today 👍

Good run for you today DevonBluebird, I always wonder if some of the runners I see are doing C25K, I did ask one and she was, especially the runners who stop and walk for a short time, it makes me think that they could well be doing some training program like this, onwards and upwards for you to run 2 of week 3.

Lovely to see the sun rise as you run and good for you getting out early

[DevonBluebird in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you! Husband & kids were just waking up when I got home - I did feel smug 🤣😆

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to DevonBluebird]

That’s great

Brilliant, well done! We love to see it get light too except our view is not a beautiful ocean, ours is an industrial estate and some hills in the distance that are actually a refuse site 😑

I find myself silently applauding and saying well done to runners I see now. I don't know if it's because I know how hard it is just to get up and get out there or because I cheer the kids on jr parkrun

[DevonBluebird in reply to mom24uk]

Hey a sunrise is a sunrise no matter where it is!!

It’s great yours do junior parkrun, can’t get mine interested at the moment- hopefully at some point!

[mom24uk Graduate in reply to DevonBluebird]

Completely agree, though the days are getting longer now and I'm not getting up even earlier to watch them

It's my daughter doing parkrun that has encouraged me to try this plan again. So many parents run with their kids and I'd like to join her too. I have to push her to go most weeks as she'd happily lie in bed but is getting better about getting up now she sees that I'm doing it too. I hope yours get inspired by you (if not, bribe em 🤣)

[DevonBluebird in reply to mom24uk]

Ha yes bribery does often work!! Hmm will have to get scheming poor things 🤣 Good for you doing it too, isn’t it great when our own experiences expand because of our kids!! It’s nice payback for years of work 🤣

That’s great Devon. Can’t wait to get to that stage. I’m still on 60seconds at the minute 😂

[DevonBluebird in reply to Largerthaneverest]

That’s the amazing thing about this programme for us impatient ones - you’ll be here in only just over a week!! It’s pretty mind blowing!
