👿Had a definite “I don’t want to do this anymore” moment this morning. It was more than a moment actually it felt like a lifetime clinging onto the blinds while I checked the weather. Pivotal moment I think as I left the bedroom and got my running gear on.

I was moaning and groaning in my head for a while until the song from Billy Elliott came on so had a mental boogie instead.

I think I was the same at this point last time I did c25k.

But, anyway, how exciting, now W8 and W9 runs are all on my screen at the same time 😸 The end is in sight 🤩

Write down all the reasons you started the plan, or start a blog/diary for you to refer back to how far you've come in such a short space of time - I use a blog to remind me: couchtofive.wordpress.com/

Two weeks to go - awesome work!

That’s great! I’m rather in awe of a blog but I do have a tick list.

I’ve promised myself a new pair of running leggings too...

Wow the end is in sight what wonderful words so very well done for beating the gremlins

Good for you Comfort. I’m having a bother with Gremlins myself at the moment. I admire you for knocking yours on the head! 👿😈 🔨 Great runs lie ahead for you in the next couple of weeks 😊. You’re nearly there!

I have that with every run. You just have to never let those gremlins win. Hold on to the post run feeling.

Oh you star - the weather is dancing gremlins, isn't it? But you did it and, in your usual brilliant posts, have inspired others to get out there and run too. (I might just have to wait until that rain slows a little... :-) ) Take care you are so close. You can do this!

Congratulations on getting out there not long now. These will pass quickly slow and steady and you can do this.
