W5R3...done & dusted :)

[AbracaDeborah]

Went out as soon as I could after work today, before I had time to think of an excuse!

I knew what was coming...but pleased to say both me and the dog achieved the 20 mins.

When Laura said I'd done 5 mins it felt like it should have been much longer, but we got there. Had a bit of a stitch, sort of in the background and not bad enough to make me want to stop and felt like I kept a nice steady slow pace.

Week 6 starts Sunday, hope you all have a lovely bank holiday weekend

Congratulations - that's the Big One along the journey done. Grad badge in your sights now

[AbracaDeborah Graduate in reply to AnnieW55]

Thanks Annie, starting to believe that now

That's fantastic!

W5R3 for me tomorrow evening.

[AbracaDeborah Graduate in reply to Eastofthegate]

Good luck, you can do it too

Brilliant and well done, there is no going back now. I will be doing the very same run a week from now. 20 minutes seems like a very long time to run to me! 😉

[AbracaDeborah Graduate in reply to farawaytree74]

Thanks once you get started it's fine, and Laura's full of encouraging comments...enjoy

Thanks Lucy, you just have to believe Laura when she says you can do it!

[RunningForBroke Graduate]

Oh that's fantastic! I'm so pleased for you AbracaDeborah. By the way, I've referred to myself as your username before. Funny. Anyway huge congratulations!

[AbracaDeborah Graduate in reply to RunningForBroke]

Ha ha! Guess you're a Deborah too then? I'm mostly a Deb, but I thought a magic spell might help me in my running quest

[RunningForBroke Graduate in reply to AbracaDeborah]

Yep. I'm a Deborah too. I agree, magic would have helped with the first couple of weeks. 😉

Well done ABCD - you're over the "hump" as it were.
