Did it!!!!!! I ran for 20 mins...the last couple of mins weren't easy - I was praying that after Laura had said that there were only 2 minutes left that I wasn't waiting for her to say there was one minute left.

Please tell me that I am not the only one who has told a random passing stranger that I have just run for 20 minutes for the first time in my life - she did seem genuinely pleased for me (maybe she was just trying to humour me lol)...

Just had my recovery drink (otherwise known as strawberry nesquik) and I am off for a shower....good luck to everyone else attempting the third run of week 5 this weekend - trust in Laura - you can do it :0)

Well done! That's quite a milestone. Now watch out for week 6 - it can catch people out. Slow and steady is the way.

I had a peep this evening at what is in store...going to try and go for run 1 on Sunday (we are away for a few days next weekend so it throws my normal routine off).

Laura is such a tease isn't she! Brilliant Runnyknitter over half way.

Well done, that is a Huge achievement! And yes I do tell random people how long I ran for! I usually find a way to get the topic of running into the conversation and then im off! You are right to be proud of yourself :D

Great job!! It was one year ago that I did my wk 5 run 3 and I remember it well--- was very proud that I could do it! Also that my two daughters , age 13 and 19, at the time, had to quit after 10 minutes while I kept going! :)

My 22 y.o and 19 y.o run, and I don't think I will be going out with them just yet - they would leave me behind! I bet that felt good though ;0)

Good feeling that one isn't it? You're a runner now, congratulations x
