So impressed with myself ๐Ÿ˜‚

Genuinely never thought Iโ€™d see the day I โ€˜ranโ€™ for 20mins without stopping. Also never thought Iโ€™d be looking forward to my next run.

Totally feel justified in eating as much chocolate as I want tomorrow!

Happy weekend everyone

Happy Easter and you can eat as much chocolate and as many Easter Eggs as you wish to celebrate your wonderful achievement on running run 3 of week 5, which is a milestone run with C25K, so give yourself a extra day off running and on Tuesday run, run 1 of week 6, be careful about that run as it has catched a few people out with interval walks and runs after the non stop 20 minutes of W5R3 which you have just ran ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ.

Congratulations! I managed to do this run today too, after delaying me doing it yesterday. Iโ€™d been dreading it but once I started it was fine.

First 5 mins were the hardest mentally but I hit back by just telling myself if I stopped Iโ€™d have to start this run over again instead of getting it over with for a week ๐Ÿคฃ

Fell great about it and bet you do too! โ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ

Congratulations to you too. I found the first 5 minutes the hardest also but reminded myself Iโ€™ve managed every other stage and I could manage this as well. Definitely feel great about it ๐Ÿคฉ

Well done. Thats the first real run done. Enjoy the moment.

As already commeted. Many of us find the W6R 1&2 a little harder as they go back to having walking breaks.

Meanwhile enjoy!!

Happy Easter, and CONGRATULATIONS on getting the horrible-looking-one ticked off. See, it wasn't that bad, was it?! Enjoy your choc and take a well-deserved rest before W6 - and please, go slowly on that or it may catch you out.
