W5R3 😁

After a stressful week ( Redundancy ) this was just what I needed. Even when you feel like the world is crashing down on you , still exercise I say πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈbecause I didn’t this week other than one resistance based session and I felt even worse.

On a side note , I notice I no longer feel exhausted after exercise , I stand up straighter ( must have done something for my core ), my jeans fit better and my stomach is flatter.

And finally on a positive note I actually ran for 20 mins πŸ’ͺ🏽😁

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 πŸƒπŸΎ 😊

So sorry to read about your work - these are tough times for so many.

You are so right about exercise though, so well done for completing W5R3 - that 20 mins non stop is a real high point of the program! Stay positive and keep running!πŸ’ͺπŸ™‚
