I am so pleased - I did it! Unbelievably slow in parts, but I'm fine with that (meantime!). Heavy snow shower on cool down walk home. I remember in the past seeing people out running in weather like this thinking "you'll never catch me doing that", but the bug has bitten even me. Happy weekend all.

huge congratulations! Its a biggie that wk5 run 3... onwards and upwards to week 6. Just a word of caution though...don't go all guns blazing on the runs, thinking they're shorter. it can be very tempting, but they're deceptively hard! i have to say im much preferring the straight runs with no breaks of week 7 onwards... (God! who wouldve thought Id be saying that?!!)

Thanks for the caution - I could just see myself thinking they'd be easy after today!

Week 5 Run 3 will always be my favourite run - and you had the added awesomeness of a snow shower too! Excellent! Well done you. Enjoy your 20 minute run 'high'! Week 6 can be tough but you'll get through it now. Good luck! :-D

Well done! Not run in snow yet. Amazed I'm so 'bitten' I go out in dark, when it is cold, when it is dampish. I am learning so much ... About what I CAN do!

Well Done!! I'm still very slow, but don't care.

Drove past a runner this morning in the countryside and found myself thinking " yup, one of us" lol.
