Thanks to all who supported me during my wobbler earlier this week I am now a FINALIST! Week 8 run 3 completed today and much to my relief it was easier and more enjoyable than my run on Monday :) AND I managed an hours dog agility training afterwards.

Finally I seem be shaking off the cough I have had for weeks (although my family might not agree with that).

Today I was able to go further in the time and also to actually run faster for the last five minutes.

Minuette, Pricey, AllyBally and everyone else out there doing week 8 - we are soon to graduate! How fab is that?

C25K rocks :)

Well done, I'm just about to start week 7. Told Poppy about dog agility classes as a possible "Bridge to 10k" alternative for her after all this C25K lark and she tucked her head firmly beneath her paws on the couch ...

Well done, and to have done the dog agility afterwards, that is impressive!

what is dog agility

Dog agility is where you go round a course of obstacles with the dog and the dog does most of the work jumping etc but you have to keep up with the dog and direct it.

Look at

agilitynet.co.uk

I have been doing it 9years and recommend it - if you have a dog that is :)

Beware, like running it can be addictive!
