Morning all!

I managed to complete week 7 yesterday morning which made me very happy :) I can honestly say that was the best run that I've done so far - nice steady pace throughout, then with 1 min left I darted off going as fast as I could as per Sarah's request, and I covered a distance that usually takes 2.5 minutes during this which was amazing! I felt a rush of happiness as I finished and felt great the rest of the day. I am definitely looking forward to week 8 upping my run by 3 minutes... who would have thought I would ever say (type) that?!

I also managed to recruit one of my work friends to C25K and she has just finished Week 2! :) It's nice to have somebody in real life that is also doing this programme.

Good luck to everyone & have a nice day!
