W5R3 done and not as difficult as I thought...

[kathycullen]

I decided to run this morning as my husband is home for bank holiday. I was more nervous a few days ago, but just decided, now, not to think about the time at all and just do it, as they say. It worked.

I know the route I run so well, that the familiar territory was really a support as I knew how far I had to get. And when she said five minutes left, I thought phew only five minutes, which then made me laugh. What a difference to a week or two ago, when five minutes seemed like a lot! Now I'm starting to get interested in finding out about times/pace/distance, so we'll see how that goes. I think I am pretty slow at this point.

I'm one of those doing this in conjunction with weight watchers and since I started C25K, my weight loss has started to go quicker, though not every week, but for a loss of 5 or so pounds, so it's a bit different from what others have experienced. I had been losing weight for some weeks before I started the program, so that could be a difference.

This is a longer post, as I find the longer posts helpful for advice and encouragement. Good luck everyone, though you won't need it if you just follow the program

Well done to get that out of the way.

Hey thanks

Well done kathy.

Week5 run 3 is a biggie to get over, mentally more than physically.

Onwards and upwards!
