First run without Laura

Ive spent nine weeks now listening to Laura instructing me, so it felt a bit strange today just listening to my own music. I must admit though that I was more than ready to ditch that music. All went well apart from my phone dying two minutes before the end so my endomondo app won't have recorded properly. Can't wait for my birthday as I'm getting a Garmin watch....it will be much easier then :)

Congratulations on graduating!

Lol, I was ready to ditch that music too, had totally had enough of it by the end of the 9 weeks. Found that I missed Laura on my first post C25K run - especially when she says 60 seconds to go! - but have got used to it now (just done run 4). I do find myself still hearing her in my head though!

Happy running! :-)

I love Laura but just hated the music, I run much better with my own specially selected running playlist.
