Couch Potato to 5K Week 5

Laura has lost the plot this week!!!!  Clearly on some kind of power trip, getting enjoyment from telling people to run for stupid amounts of time.  Laura is a wolf in sheeps clothing!

In week 5 she had three different runs for me.

Monday. Had to do three stints of 5 minutes, it was mega, but managed it.   She has more confidence in me than I do.   This week  had the definite feeling that would reach personal limit in this experiment.

Wednesday.  Did two stints of 8 mins each, unprecedented!!!

Friday.  OK you will not believe this!  Warm up walk 5 mins completed, then 20 mins running non-stop.  Laura quite helpful with occasional encouraging comments however at end of run, after much well deserved praise, during 5 minutes cool down walk, announces that if failed to make the 20 minutes then be a good idea to repeat week 5.  Can you believe it?  Was an option to fail, but not offered before, offered at the end!  Needless to say felt cheated.

However, am legend!  Am incredible!  Am an inspiration to all around me especially lovely younger sister!  Have run for 20 minutes non stop.   Any day now will be putting out own excercise dvd for purchase and become huge overnight success as fitness guru.   Alright maybe not quite but getting there.   Not yet graceful cheetah more like lame duck trying to make it back to the nest to die , it’s not pretty but can work on the look later!

Yay weekend off now, then onto week 6 :0/ scary!!!!
