Week 9 run 1 - done. Oh, and I did 5k!!!!!

[Runningmummy]

Really lost confidence last week and struggled with week 8 but chose a new route today and my own playlist and set off full of trepidation but determination. Anyway, I did it - ran for 30 minutes and cracked the 5k (if I count my 5 minute warm up).

I also had a faster pace than my previous runs and think this was down to the fact that half of my run was on the main road - the thought of people seeing me run makes me go faster!

Glad I've done it - hoping I'll start feeling like a 'proper' runner now!

Thats brilliant, well done. I started week 8 last night and I must say I had no confidence, I definately wasn't happy when it was over. You've given me hope for the final few runs

That's fantastic, congratulations!

Great job, doing the 5km in that time is brilliant

Good luck for the rest of the week.
