I did it, ran for 5 minutes! Twice! I'm definately getting into this running lark, though would definately not win any prizes for speed!

Well done, speed does not matter, slow and steady is what gets you through it ;-)

Wow I am so jealous! I sometimes go so slow I think I could walk it faster but guess that may come in time. Well done on your fab achievement :-D

I'm still not convinced that I run faster than my brisk walk!

Well done! I used to think I was running slower than a walker until in week 4 I ran past a dog walker. I was so pleased with myself, slow and steady is the way to go.

Woop, Woop!!! Well done Catch, bet you are feeling happy! I'm slower than when I walk too- I'm sure of it!? But every one here says that's not a problem, I'm just so happy to be doing it really . I'm doing week 4 run 3 on Wednesday , so close to where you are at!! Good luck x
