So glad to see the back of week 6.....

After being *yay* close to feeling I'd hit a wall and having an atrocious run 1 and pratting out after 3/4 of the run on run 2 I set out today having decided to just go straight to run 3, and no matter what not stop until Laura told me to!

I am not afraid to say that I had some victory tears (so dramatic!) when Laura told me I was "a runner" and then inspected my sweat patches with pride...so glad the worst week I've had yet is over.

I would never ever have thought I'd be able to run 25 mins in a month of Sundays, and I can promise you if I can do it, anyone can. I may only be 33 but I swear, I should've done this year ago.

Anyway, starting to feel I should've started this post "Dear Diary"....

;)

Well done! Very well done; week six really is a bit of a devil. I really struggled with it and in fact, most do, it seems. It really is so innocuous, sat there, looking unthreatening, but it's far from easy.

I know just how you feel; I'm 32 and have the same sentiments: I should have done this years ago! Not to worry though, we're on with it now and that's what matters. :-) Good luck for week seven! :-)

Well done! Week 6 is the worst as I recall so it's all plain sailing for you from here on in

Take it steady, no false moves! You need to wrap this up safe and in one piece. Good luck and keep enjoying it
