Really chuffed. I made a plan and I stuck to it. A really nice feeling!

Had a bit of a tough night and had serious doubts and dreads before I got through my warm up walk and starting running. I paced my self perfectly at a steady 8:45 min / km. Knees behaved very well and it was lovely running on the trail next to the lake. -1 C and calm, the lake was so serene.

On Sunday W6 begins! Onwards and upwards. :)

Well done!! Your space sounds quite fast to me. Super running already on week 5.:)

I wish I had a lake near me, that I could run around. In here we just have a river, maybe I will try to drive there on weekend.

Well done - first of the longer runs under your belt! Watch out for week 6 - some people find it quite tricky!

Fab! Well done to you. And aren't you lucky to be able to run around a lake! Have you posted any photos? We'd love a good nosey at where other people run.

Stick with it now! Week 6 is a little tricky so and so but after week 6 you're breezing

Just keep plugging away nice and steady

I think so. I played golf in my youth, but haven't played in many years. Too expensive if you aren't a member.
