Week 8 run 1 complete

[BandX]

As a school Deputy Head in charge of academic provision and therefore in charge of exam results, this week has been something else and Cto5K has kept me sane. Can't quite believe many things at the moment but one thing that amazes me is that in week one it was a struggle to run for 60 seconds and now my nine year old and I can run for 28 minutes. I suspect the week to come will be equally gruesome but the one thing running seems to do, something I have only read about before, is give you headspace. I recommend it to everyone and I really recommend couch to 5K as a way to start - I think I am a convert!

Yes, a very stressful week for schools and pupils. Best of luck with the coming week.

I am glad the running has provided you with some head space. Judging by the proposed appeal procedure, I imagine you will not be having much rest for the next few weeks.

Life throws curved balls at all of us from time to time and that escape for a few precious minutes really is worth all the effort and how great to be running with your offspring.

Keep running, keep smiling.

As the parent of this years A level and GCSE kids I can imagine how stressful your job is at the moment. Glad your running time is providing some much needed respite. Well done on starting week 8. I’m doing just that later today
