Well after a miserable week for me and my running buddy last week. Things have picked up a bit so with terror in our hearts yikes. We face thedreaded W5r3 run tomorrow. We are crossing everything that we can do it. Ifell like we can mentally physically it will be a push but we are hoping that because we found stopping after 8 minutes to be a pain . As we had just got into our stride that we will be able to keep going for 20 . so to all the lively suportive people who have helped get us this far please keep us in your thoughts tomorrow at 6 !!!!

Enjoy tomorrow! I'd planned to run it myself tomorrow at 6am and was looking forward to it. However whilst doing my usual Cardio workout this morning I felt a sharp twang in my calf having completed the last in a set of knee high running on the spot with star jumps. With a calf strain that me out of action for a couple of days, reduced to hobbling - AAARGH!!!! So frustrating!

Let us know how you get on!
