I graduated on August 7th with my final run of C25K... went on holidays a few days later and never did a run while gone (closest treadmill runner :/ so walked lots... but to admit my self consciousness about running in public is a whole other blog)... On my return from holidays 2 weeks later , I attempted and couldn't accompish the 30 minutes... didn't even make it 5 minutes as I had shin splints... I have to admit I almost... almost... didn't want to try again... But I did tell myself that I had only run a few times at 30 minutes so I had not become a pro..hehe.
But I perservered. I went back and did W6R1 and R2 and a few more altered runs, two days ago ran for 20 minutes and today ran for 30 minutes. I honestly say I needed to get to this point again as I was felling a bit deflated and was having trouble finding my mojo... I know I shouldn't have but I am being honest here...lol. I also wanted to listen to my body... my legs were telling me something and on top of the minor setback I did not want an injury!
So onwards I go. Just a minor blip...
Thanks for listening
