My husband and I entered ourselves into the Perkins Great Eastern 5K Fun Run. We did this to help raise money for Sands (Stilbirth and neonatl death charity).
I have only just started the C25k...I finished week 2 on Saturday so I was expecting to run this fun run in a similar way...walk a bit, run a bit, walk a bit etc etc
So I start running, managing to keep pace with my husband, I few minutes pass, I see the 1 Mile marker and think I need to stop and walk, so we do for about 90 seconds..then I keep running...and running... and running...before you know it, I can see the 4K Marker and I am still running...Then I SPRINTED to the finish having run 5k in 37m.27s!!
How did I do this? I've only been running for 2 weeks! Was it the fact that I was running with someone? or that I was buzzing with the atmosphere?? I don't know..
Anyway, looking forward to starting week 3 tomorrow :))
PS we raised nearly £3000 for Sands :))

Wow! Very well done for completing the 5k and for raising all that money for charity! You should be very proud of yourself. Now you know you can do it, you should sail though the rest of the plan!
