c25kThis is my first post to this community this year. Get Running says I ran Week 8 Day 1 on 5th January and nothing since then.
Last week I did a short run, from home down to my baby's nursery. A bit under 2 km, and I covered it in 16.5 minutes, including a couple of minutes brisk walking to warm up and about a minute to cool down.
Things that were good:
It's nursery day again tomorrow, and with a bit of forward planning I can probably do Week 8 Day 2 (i.e. 28 minutes of running) on the way to get baby.
I'm also considering just signing up for Parkrun on Saturday morning, as that's always been the motivation reward for finishing c25k. Going out in January did not appeal, but Saturday's forecast is not too hideous. Perhaps it is cocky of me, but I feel I've recovered nearly all the fitness I had in January, and back then I felt making it to 5k was within reach, even if doing it in 30 minutes wasn't.

Things that were good:
- I had my usual endorphin reward for running
- I felt in control of my pacing
- I wished I could have run for a full half hour (nursery would have been shut if I had)
