I did it !! I really got myself stressed yesterday and was convinced that i would end up walking. but ...............I got up early this morning and drove to the gym ..........watching breakfast tv,..........I ran and ran, not letting myself check how long i'd been running for until I thought i was over halfway through . When I finally looked, I had 5 mins running to go . It certainly wasn't easy . But I did it , 2 more runs to fit on by xmas eve. I am determined that i will graduate by 6 o'clock on Christmas eve :-) Watch this space ..............(hopefully)

I know for a fact that I wouldn't be feeling this positive if it wasn't for the 'Couch25K crowd.' Everyone is so full of good tips and encouragement , Thankyou for everything so far

:-) :-)
