I managed to complete the full 20 minute run yesterday and was able to phone my daughter and tell her to cancel the flowers for my funeral!!! :)

Very impressed with myself.

Very impressed with yourself you jolly well ought to be, the 20 minute run's a heck of a jump from what you've previously done.

Remember how you felt 5 weeks ago? You'd never have thought it possible.

Keep going, you'll get there and keep posting too.

Thanks for the encouragement. Hoping to do the 5k with husband and daughter in July now! Was originally aiming for September!!! :)

Impressed? So you should be! People are likely to be wondering while you are smiling all day. Good for you! You are over half way through the program now - the physically hard but is done, it's head games all the way to the end, but you can do it.

LOL!

Well done you on busting that one!

Nearly a year on I still try to give the house (well the living area disaster zone) a bit of a shimmy before I head out for a run, just in case! Unspoken bonus benefits of running! Send yourself some flowers when you graduate though, why don't you, that'd be tremendous!
