Managed a 5k run today. Went to the gym before I took this mornings meds. Took them immediately afterwards so only a couple of hours late. The challenge is important to me so will attempt this daily if I can. 37 days to go on the challenge, 39 days left of the meds!!

Well done Angel108. I'm glad to hear you were able to run before taking your meds.

I'm just back from making a hotch-potch of a run, It was supposed to be my long, slow distance run today - this week at 6.5km - but I thought I'd give the C25K+ Stamina podcast a go. Well, that was hard and too fast for the slow run. I tried to follow Laura, but gave up when she increased the pace to 165bpm. I really struggled to keep going to my planned 6.5 km and just made it. (Runkeeper say 6.42, but I've measured my landmarks previously with my more accurate GPS).

I've learnt my lesson and next week will take a s-l-o-w run for my long, slow run. I think I'll do the stamina run for my scheduled 35 min run on Monday.

I had another 2km walk home to add to my 5x50 total.

Hello, I find it almost impossible to find things in these forum.

Thanks for the link.

Well done angel108, I think I am becoming slightly obsessed, everything I think about is now planning what I can do next.

Going to try and get outside for a bit tomorrow.

Thanks guys for the nice comments. Think I too am getting obsessed, got my youngest grandchild tonight and have set my alarm so can go for a 15k cycle before he gets up. If he gets up while I'm gone, grandpa will just have to give him his breakfast coz am not missing another day. Yesterday was awful, felt I'd let myself down.

Have a great weekend!
