All that worry about completing the 20 minute run was for nothing ๐Ÿ˜Š I felt confident this morning and made sure I kept a steady pace. I was almost laughing to myself when Laura said I only had 2 minutes to go!! I got back home exactly when Iโ€™d finished my cool down walk. Feeling really good! ๐Ÿ˜Š Happy running people!!

Well done.

That run is a milestone, but remember to stay nice and slow for the next run.........it catches many out.

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 ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thanks JBGood, I like your username, a Chuck Berry hit, I am a bit of a finatic for dates, History was one of my best subjects at school, so I also remember all the important dates regarding my running. ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘
