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 🏃🏾 👍

I've some bad news. This 20 minute run comes with the side effects of a day-long grin and an irresistible urge to tell everyone (whether interested or not) about your achievement.

Yay, well done changing-woman that's brilliant and an amazing achievement. I did this run today as well and can certainly agree with the comment about grinning and wanting to tell everyone whether they care or not.
