    That's a great excuse going there teachergirl!

    As for me I've had a horrible cold all week and couldn't drag myself out again on a run like I did on Tuesday. It feels like it has almost gone so I will get back out there tomorrow! Felt guilty at missing 2 runs this week after doing so well with this unexpected cold but had to do it

    Keep on running everyone

    I did go out for interval training again on Thursday. I'm off for a speedwalk again in a little bit with the dog and run tomorrow. Your holiday sounds fab teachergirl.

    As I felt so much better today I went out and ran Run 1 Week 7 this afternoon. Kept the pace slow and did it with no stops and overall it was ok for most of the run

    Well am back from my hols, and am intending to download the podcasts tomorrow, attempted a run today and 2 weeks of doing nothing has had a bad effect on me.

    Well done! That's a great achievment!

    I've got another 5 runs to go before I get there but I'm on my way to 5k!

    Anyone got any clever ideas for what I can do with my house keys when running? I started the C25K today and just held them in my hand but they get quite sweaty and uncomfortable, I live alone so no one to let me back in and nowhere outside safe to leave them.

    I use an arm wallet when I'm out, its a zip pouch on a velcro armband, I keep my mp3 player in it too so my hands are free. Or in winter I have a jacket with zip pockets

    I attach them to a lanyard and then tuck the keys into my bra so they are doubly safe :D
