"You're a runner." Not today Laura, I'm definitely a plodder.

I've finished week six and as the title says, apparently I'm a runner. Not today Laura. Too tired. But I did it without stopping, all 25 minutes, and in the rain for the first time ever. I have to admit, I looked out the front door quite a few times before I actually left the house as it was chucking it down at times. It was just ordinary rain by the time I left - and in my new running gear too! I took a trip to Sports Direct, inspired by I think r4chel yesterday. Unfortunately for me, I didn't get on with the cheap gear so ended up spending a bit on top and bottoms and socks. I also went to M&S for the all important sports bra, and came out with two. Just need my Primark pants now ;-)

As I said, it was a plod-fest tonight. It was past nine went I went out and I've walked a bit today as well and been on my feet most of the day so I had a fair idea it was going to be a bit of a struggle. So unlike run two this week. I didn't get a chance to post about that one, but it was fantastic. I was moving at a good pace, and was a naughty girl and didn't obey Laura for the first time but carried on running past the end of the second 10 minutes all the way through the five minute walk as I felt so good. I'm hoping for that feeling again soon.

Anyhoo, that's me into the long runs non-stop now, Two-thirds through, and into single figures for runs remaining. My goodness.

Well done Tati, no matter how you did it, you DID do it! Style, speed and elegance to feature sometime soon in an area near you :D

Seeya soon again with reports of last few C25K outings. Think we'll be graduating about the same time. Yay :) in time for summer. Lots of luck, Linda x

Really fantastic - however you did it. I am doing baby runs at week 2- and running for 25 mins seems light years away. I also take the view going out in the rain and even if it does include some walking is good for our soul.

Good luck and keep running

It doesn't matter whether you plod or run with style, grace and elegance - you did it! You are a runner :) Good luck with the rest of the runs, the goal is in sight now and you will get there. Happy running in your new gear :)

Nothing wrong with plodding. I managed a whole 10k race last week by just plodding! Well done for becoming a runner!
