W9R3 done

[Bluefly]

I had planned to do this run either yesterday or today but yesterday was really busy so today it was. I umm'd and aah'd about going outside, I have been very tempted reading everyone's great posts with pictures. But I hadn't planned a route, the morning was slipping away and I decided that it could go horribly wrong which I didn't want for the graduation run.

So off to the treadmill. 5 minutes in - why am I feeling tired? I'll never get to 30 minutes again, may be I should just give up....10 minutes in - not really loving this, breathing's not right, why am I doing this? 20 minutes in - Hong Kong Garden is just the right rhythm, I'm loving this, maybe I could incorporate a few dance moves...30 minutes in - completely buzzing, I think I could run forever.......but Laura has said that's the end. I am now officially a runner. Wowsers, I've done it.

Next plan, get onto that footpath app recommended by Vespina, sort out a route and get myself outside to scare the neighbours in my shorts. This forum is absolutely awesome!

Congratulations 🎉 you graduated on our 3 year anniversary from starting C25K, we run outside but I have run on a treadmill in the past and for me outside is so much more everything so consolidate we’ll, don’t push too hard and get outside to see which you enjoy most, either is running
