Not a fluke apparently šŸ˜

Iā€™ve completed three 30 minute runs, so I guess I can really do it! I have one more to graduate as I started on a different program. Feeling reasonably confident and really wanting to know my distance. Exactly 5 weeks until my 5k!

Thanks for the tips (SLOW DOWN)!

Thanks, Mummycav! Since I took the advice to slow down, Iā€™ve truly been enjoying myself. Before that I thought Iā€™d tough it out until the 5k that I registered for and then go back to walking. Now Iā€™m not so sure. Thereā€™s another 5k in September that Iā€™d like to participate in. And i bet I could increase my speed by thenā€¦

running is about enjoying yourself tooā€¦so how ever far youā€™re running in what ever time it is better than what you were doing before you started c25k so you should be blumming proud of yourself for what youā€™re managing to run right nowā€¦you are doing amazingly well, and whatever happens in the 5kā€™s youā€™ve entered you will be beaming šŸ˜ and rightly so x
