Lizziebeth57 and MinxyMissK, I did it TOO! Skip, skip, skip.
I was a bit worried. I usually run in the morning, I had to run in the evening. It has been a lovely warm day so I thought I would be too hot. Plus how would I keep going?
But i did! I am surprised how much I respond to Laura encouraging me along, it almost makes the music bearable. I was hot, the first 5 mins were hard and I got a bit panicky and then I got on with it. And it was a beautiful evening and everyone I passed ( dog walkers and cyclists) gave me a nod.
The last 5 mins were the easiest and I could have carried on which bodes well for next week. Well done us! I now feel very smug and am sitting here beaming away to myself!

Well done, ladies!!. What a team!! My wife is due to start W5 next run, unless she decides to repeat W4R3 for a second time, and I shall show her all these brilliant posts that have arrived this week with success in W5R3.
Amazing - very well done! So, when you do the 20 mins do you find that it's tough to start with, but then you get into a rhythm for the rest of the time?
I started off nice and steady like I always do, and it just felt ok. I kept telling myself I wasn't going to stop, and I was just enjoying being out in the fresh air, keeping myself moving. It felt amazing
The first bit is where you do need to be calm and just be slow and steady. Last night I didn't get that bit right because it was 7pm not 7am, the sun was in my eyes and lots of chaps were out on their bikes - I run along a flat bit of a great off road cycling area - and I felt like I was in the way. Second five mins I got my act together. All mind over matter, as Laura says week 5 is a mental challenge as we can do it! X
I see! I guess it's different for everyone, but sounds like it's all about pacing yourself - and avoiding bikes I think each run is giving me a tiny bit more hope I will be able to do the 20mins. Only just done W3R2 this morning though!
