I woke up and all the excuses started- I’m too tired, I ache too much - I even convinced myself tomorrow would be better. But I ignored the excuses, told myself I could do this. I though about all the other C25K people who have done it and off I went.....

The last 5 mins was the hardest, but I pictured myself finishing ....

I’ve never ever run for 20 mins!

So for me,

I’ve just won a gold medal!

Well done for completing this. I always find the first 5 minutes to be the hardest until I get into a rhythm but we’re all different aren’t we. If you keep going with the positive thoughts you’ll be at the graduation stage before you know it. It’s one hell of an achievement when you hear them say you have. Good luck with the rest of the program. 😁
