Sunday runs are often alone, as Kirsty, Mark and I live nowhere near each other. But Kirsty came to Battersea today, which was a good thing as it was our next step up into week 5. Actually, it's a whole week of steps up. Not to question the wisdom of the god of Couch to 5k, but doing a 20 minute continuous run at the end of this week is massive. We've decided to subvert it a bit as we are both away for the weekend and want to do that together. We'll have a go at the 20 minutes on Bank Holiday Monday, then head to a suitable pub or something as a reward for what feels like a huge milestone.
Anyway the run today was good - 3 sets of 5 minutes. Still really enjoying not fighting for breath, and I was even able to talk a little as I ran. My legs felt heavy and achey, but my body should know by now that trifling things like that are not going to stop me. We're repeating this run on Tuesday as we aim for the 20 minuter on May 3rd.
