I have to admit I really didn't think I could do this today... But I did it. I was smiling like something demented when I finished. On one of the 5 min runs I met a 'proper' runner coming from the opposite direction and he smiled and said hello. Perhaps he felt sorry for the fat bird trying to look like a runner!
Such a good feeling to have come this far.

well done you. The encouragement of other runners and a friendly wave, nod of the head etc makes you feel like you are in the club. Keep up the good work!!
I'm at the same stage as you - run 2 tomorrow - and also didn't think I would be able to run for five minutes. Its an amazing feeling when you manage it and know that actually you can!
Perhaps that 'proper' runner is a C25K graduate, you just might be in the same position as him later this year passing some huffing puffing newbie Keep going, you are doing so well, and keep on smiling.
Well done your doing realy well. im only on wk1 r2 which i did today which was a bit easier that the 1st but in way i carnt wait to get to wk4 and see the improvment.
