Hi all,
This is my first time writing a post so a little nervous, I've been reading everyone else's and finding it so inspiring and helpful, I know I wouldn't have got this far without the blogs, you are all in my head when I run, but I'm so pleased with myself today, just wanted to share it with people who would understand.
Anyhoo, today I was supposed to do my W5R1, I run in the mornings (5 a.m. to be exact) and must have been more dozy than usual, anyway I obviously wasn't really listening to Laura tell me what podcast I was listening to and anyway when Laura says run, you run right?!!!
So I complete the run, the 1st 8 minutes went ok, really pleased to have completed it and making a big effort to "big myself up" as I never seem to congratulate myself on the good stuff, only feel bad about the failures.
Second 8 minutes and I'm struggling, can't seem to pick my legs up and I swear, I freeze for 10 seconds mid stride ready to stop, but a voice zaps me back into action and I realise it's St Laura with her dulcet tones telling me "you've got 60 seconds left" and from somewhere I manage to keep going the full 60 secs.
5 minute warm down crawl!!, I'm a bit dizzy as I walk back home and I'm obviously not getting enough oxygen to my brain, because I heard Laura say that I need to listen to the Podcast for W5R3 next, but no I check my phone and I'v done the wrong one!!! Oh how could this happen, what an idio......hold on I just completed 2x 8 minute runs, yes it was hard but I did it.
Woohooooooo!!!!
So for the first time I walked home with a spring in my step and a grin on my face!!
I've decided that on Sunday I'll repeat run 2 again, and move on as normal after that.
C25K BRING IT ON!!
