Day 3, I already feel done in.

After running last night on top of the walk my ankle is really throbbing.

I managed my 2K walk into work this morning but I can't see myself doing any more running this week, just walking.

Pretty annoying as my shiny orange C25K tshirt has arrived.

I did W9R1 today. Except, since I've already done 5 x 30 mins runs and I'm starting a 10K training plan, I ran for 35 mins as per my 10K plan.

The first 4 km felt really good (except for a few mins when my left leg threatened to cramp as it did yesterday when I was doing yoga!) and I kept a nice steady, easy pace. Then around 4 km I suddenly felt quite tired and and had to dig deep to keep going. .As I hit the smooth surface road again just before 5 km it felt easier, but I was glad to stop at 35 mins. Total distance running = 5.36 km,

This route leaves me a 3 km walk back and I ran 2 x 3 mins of this - once when Queen's "We Will rock You" came on my mp3 player and once when it started raining.

My walking total for today is up to 5.7K and I have bought an ankle support.

Think I will cycle tommorrow night instead of run.

Still my total so far is 21K, if I can at least keep walking the distance I won't feel too bad.

I see on facebook one of the organiser is already unable to run after an accident with a jeep left her with a broken arm.

I hope the ankle support helps and your ankle is not aggravated by your running or walking.

My total is 20K and maybe I'm daft, but I'm quite chuffed to see that figure there when I log onto the site, I've not used an online fitness/activity recording site before, so this is new to me! ;-)

I'm cycling tomorrow too. I've been teased by a cycling friend who has told me to get back on my bike - which has been neglected since starting running - and I promised her I'd have some photos from cycle routes to share during this challenge. Also, I wish to go further than I can manage from the house on foot.

Well done, yes there is something quite pleasing about seeing the figure mount up.

I just read about Ron Hill's streak. I need to stop moaning about my ankle.
