Wow, I did it!

What an amazing feeling, every 5 minutes that passed the grin on my face got bigger.

I was thinking 'hey, I'm actually running'

How amazing that only 5 weeks ago I almost crawled out of the gym after running for 60 seconds.

I was changing music on my ipod during the run too so I remained motivated, and I also attempted a sip of water - I almost choked and spit it out but I managed with dignity to swallow it. - I'll not be trying that again. :)

I checked my heartrate after 3.5 mins and it was 106bpm, how utterly fantastic is that! So my recovery is getting so much quicker too.

I absolutely love C25K
