I was going to post the same sort of thing having also completed w5 r3 tonight but seeing as you did it first I won't and will instead say bloody well done. Onwards to week 6

Well done it's a great feeling, isn't it? :)

That's the first time I felt that the 'runners high' was introduced. :)

There are many more to come, but beware of week six, it is a bit of a 'back down to earth experience'. Not dreadful just strange. :)

It doesn't get easier, you just stop worrying about how hard it is, which is essentially the same thing :) :) and then you actually start to enjoy it. :)

Happy running!
