I noticed that there are a number of posts here from folks who have completed Week 5 today. I am happy to report I am joining your squadron, after a very hot (26 degrees) run in full sun this lunchtime. 20 minutes??? Who would have thought we could do that?

Please give a resounding cheer to:

and (hoping not to jinx it...)

Unikorn01 a bit later tonight.

... and anyone else I've missed.

Onwards! W6 beckons.

Well done Marky and all you other w5r3-ers. The best run in the programme for self-esteem IMHO. Happy running in w6

That is blooming awesome Marky! Give yourselves all a pat on the back and a nice cooling drink (alcoholic or otherwise) - then onward to W6!

Yes, well done - my favourite of all the runs - completing that was the best feeling ever! (although I'm sure my graduation run next week will be pretty special too!).

I am impressed by anyone who gets W5R3 done, but to do it in hot temps is especially impressive.

Is there no stopping you?
