Squeeee! Ran for 20 minutes

Week 5 run 3 in the bag- definitely the hardest yet. Around 10 minutes after setting off I decided I was going to die. There was a crossing at about 12 minutes so I stopped (so as not to get run over), and removed my hoodie, but I don't think those few seconds invalidate the run. I am so tired now, I need coffee.

Bring on week 6!

Well done! Imagine if someone had told you 5 weeks ago that you'd be able to run for 20 minutes ;) It's more a mental than a physical obstacle in this run. You're definitely ready to go for Week 6!

Be proud of your achievement and enjoy the feeling (and your coffee as well)!
