Week 6: Run 3, today I felt runner's high for the first time! I thought that it was a myth... it's not!

I finished the run and felt a total sense of euphoria :) So happy, feeling so good in myself for getting this far, and know that all this running is doing me the WORLD of good, I sleep better, have more energy, my skin is better, I have lost weight and toned up and I am motivated to eat better as well. I think I can honestly say that running is changing my life!

Well done. The runner's high is amazing, isn't it, I never quite believed it until I experienced one myself - always feel it's odd that I just potter around and get such a big lift from it.

It's the next day now, and I still can't believe how good I feel! I can honestly say that doing Couch to 5k is one of the best things I have ever done! :)

It's nice to feel proud of yourself and your achievements. Too many other downers in life... Good to have some balance! Well done and keep up the good work.
