Woo hoo! One more to go before graduation. Went out at 6am this morning hat and gloves and was dripping by the time I got in (just before the rain started). The first 15 mins had to really talk myself in to keep running but after that was confident enough to know that Yes! I can do this!!! Was pleased with my time. Reckon that to complete 5K will take me between 40-45 mins. Dont know if that's good but I am just pleased with myself that I can run for 30 mins. Roll on Friday! :-)

Well done for getting out, I looked out at 6am saw the frost on the car and decided it would be the gym for me today. I am one run behind you now so will graduate early next week. My current run/walk 5k time is about 45-48 mins so you are doing fine and speed will soon come

Wow, can't believe you're that close! Well done you - especially getting out there in the freezing cold that early! You've so got the right attitude for this. Nothing can stop you now!
