Finally, the end of week 3 of the Couch to 5k plan! One third of the way through. Phew. And still going strong.

It was an early start and a journey over to the other side of Hove today for a run with my running partner. She and I are running separately for the first two runs of the week at the moment, and travelling alternately to each other for the third. We think it’ll help with motivation - can’t go missing runs, because a failures in sticking to the plan would (or should) be obvious to the other person on the third day. This is a plan that is low on logic but big on grasping at straws. It’s working so far.

Anyway, this week was my turn to travel back to Hove Lawns for run 3 of week 3. Week 3 has been pretty hard work and today was only a touch easier than Monday’s run thanks to two days rest rather than the customary one day off. We’re definitely fans of avoiding running on grass - decent surfaces appear far easier.

Rather nervous now about Monday. Had today been noticably easier than Monday or Wednesday I would be looking forward to Monday, but I haven’t noticed any real improvement through this week.
