W5R3 - just keep running...

Ha! Did it, and it so totally is just a mental thing running for that long. I had to stop at the lights to cross roads a couple of times: the first one I was doing the bouncing up and down like a real runner thing, the second one after 15 minutes I was just hoping the green man didn't appear too soon so I could have a minute's breather. It's the only time I've ever known that light to change so quickly!

The finding nemo "just keep running" works very well - thanks to the lovely person who suggested that. But I can't get it out of my head now...

Well done you Greenstar!! Loved your altercation with the little green man, but I bet you feel anything is possible now. I find I'm not thinking about the non stop running as much as finding a window in the relentless rain - may have to resort to bright red waterproof which makes me look like 2 tomatoes with my bright red face! Just keep swimming becoming ever more relevant - think it will become a new cult... Well done again - enjoy wk6 now!

Well done! I'll be attempting wk5r3 tomorrow/sat I just can't get my head around the giant leap from 8mins to 20mins it does feel like it's going to take numerous attempts before it's possible, I'm likely to get bored and admit defeat.

Have faith in yourself :) you can do it! Keep telling yourself you can do it! Don't let your brain or your body tell you that you can't is the key ;)

Thanks I'll do that, definitely got too far to give up without a fight! I surprise myself every time I attempt and complete a run, I can't quite believe I've made it this far!
