I was extremely nervous about this run and thought of every excuse under the sun not to go out this morning. But I did it! And it wasn't too bad. In fact I could probably have kept going for a little bit longer! I am starting to believe that I can do this now. What an amazing feeling!

Isn't it fantastic? Well done, and keep on. I'm starting week 8 tomorrow, and I remember that 20 minute run being daunting, but it was the most wonderful feeling to complete it. I think it provoked the biggest grin so far!

Don't be nervous! It's just walking and running. Nothing complicated. Set out to enjoy it. It's ok to have a good time. This is fun!

As long as you go slowly enough and don't exhaust yourself you should get through it ok. The trouble only really starts if you try and go too fast
