so last night i was doing week 8 day 2 of the C25K program, it didn't start well, i was doing my 5 minute warm up when i realised that instead of wearing my nice light running shorts i'd thoughtlessly put of some normal heavy going out shorts, i considered going home and changing but i though no I've got to carry on

and carry on i did, i started running and then 15 minuets in my Bluetooth headphones started to beep at me, they were informing my the battery was going to die and moment, i thought oh no that's it, i can't run with out my music i might as well just give up and call it a day

but i didn't, instead i put my set my phone to play though it's speaker and just kept plodding on until i reached 28 minutes :)

once i finished i was so proud of myself for not listening to the excuses in my head and getting on with it

    Took a leaf out of your book last night and just kept running, didn't look at my watch. Did a record distance for me, and at a good pace too, even though it bucketed down on me halfway through. Thank you for the inspiration. :)

    That's what i love about running. There are no coaches, no trainers, no-one to make you push. That feeling you got today doesn't go away. The voices change but don't go away....every run is a victory. Enjoy!
