I just did week5 run3 today :) 20 minutes without stopping. I do believe I could have gone longer but I didn't wanna strain myself too much. Proud!

Well done, you! You are right to be proud as you've made such a progress during the last weeks :) Enjoy the feeling of being able to run for 20 whole minutes!

I did it on the treadmill. I do usually run around the park but my son wants to go the gym too. Was quite embarrassing the amount I sweated ( sorry tmi I know) but couldn't stop smiling afterwards. I'm still on a high. I could just about run a bath before I started this an now look at me :)

Go us!! If we could bottle this feeling aye. :D

I don't worry about sweat anymore, it's a badge of honour showing that I'm moving my ass :o)
