Wk5 run2 done at last

I am so pleased I managed run 2 at last (3rd time lucky) and it wasn't too much of a struggle. I don't really feel ready to do 20mins though and next run will be on Sunday when I do the "Race for Life". Sometimes I think I would like to "Go for it" and other time I think I might do run 2 again. Help is needed from you all.

I'd say go for it! The worst that can happen is that you don't complete it and have to try again. You may just surprise yourself though. :) Good luck!

Well done! Glad you made it. My turn tomorrow morning :-)

Race for Life might be the perfect opportunity to do your 20 minutes. There is so much going on around you, and the atmosphere is so inspiring, you may well just be able to keep going. Make sure you start slowly, as it is tempting to gallop off at speed in the excitement.

Thanks for this. I had been thinking this might be the best time to do it with the atmosphere. Looking forward to it but somehow a little bit nervous.
