after W5R3 I'm FEELING PUMPED!

[RisiPotter]

How exhilarating to already have come so far! I have never run for 20 minutes before in my life without taking at least several walking breaks (I'm 35 yrs old). At first I didn't believe I could do it (even today), but I did believe Laura on the podcast when she said she was sure I could. And sure enough. I did it. ... However, I was going VERY slowly. In fact (see graph above this post) you can't even tell from my endomondo tracking app when I was briskly walking and when I was running. But my heart could tell. So could my calves and my lungs. It was hard but not as hard as I had worried.

I feel GREAT

Well done! It doesn't matter how fast, you did it such a buzz isn't it. Keep it up!

Slow is good! It will get you round safely. You'll be graduated in not time

Enjoy yourself. This is fun! Well done!!!!

The great milestone that is W5R3! Fantastic isnt it? I still remember mine 18 months and countless miles later. Never mind how fast you did it, that's pretty irrelevant. You did a great job there!
