Rose tinted ... my first ever 20 minute run :)

[amsjo]

...as the sun was setting on a beautiful evening I really was running (well jogging at a slow pace)with a rose tinted view ... until it went dark and then thankfully no one could seem me anymore!

But I did it ...I have never run for 20 minutes in the whole of my life...but I did it today ... I made it ... W5R3 .. I completed it

Thank you all soooooo much for getting me this far ... good luck with your next runs x x

Well done. This is the run that once achieved you know that you can complete C25K - and that feels good. Best of all you also had a good sunset to enjoy along the way.

[amsjo Graduate in reply to PeaBea]

..still don't quite believe I can run 5K in the future, but I'm trusting Laura and swearing less at her It is incredible how you can run for 20 minutes when you really do start on the couch, with no running skills.

Lovely news! That sounds like a lovely run (well, the view anyway!)

As PeaBea says, now you *know* you can get to the end - and get a sparkly graduate badge.

[amsjo Graduate in reply to greenlegs]

if I get such a high from 20 minutes not sure what the 5k will do to me ... the only good thing is I cannot control my legs to well afterwards so unlike to get up to too much afterwards

Ah yes! " the nasty one" well done on your completion. From now on in it's all gravy, with just a little bit of Tabasco thrown in....Lol

All the best

Lovely description, Dale!

Hope the Tabasco bits don't make your legs give up, amsjo! Just remember, if you hit a bit of Tabasco, there's lovely gravy coming up for the next run.

[amsjo Graduate in reply to greenlegs]

Thank you for all the lovely comments

However the mention of gravy ...why am I so hungry afterwards ...would say could eat a horse but probably have been !!

I too caught the last of a lovely rose-coloured night sky this evening; lovely!

Well done on conquering the Big One! Now you know 30 mins is actually achievable! Best of luck for week six!
