I was quite apprehensive to start with this run I keep seeing people writing running 20 minutes non stop, I thought no people are kidding me now, Laura would not let us run for 20 minutes non stop that's a big jump of 12 minutes from the 8 minutes run, lo and behold she did make us run for 20 minutes non stop.

Once I started, I lower my pace and get into a comfortable run next minute Laura said you are halfway then she mentioned about 15 minutes so I focus for the last 5 minutes when the music changed, I could have gone a couple of minutes more but her talking and the music distracted me when she said that's it you've run for 20 minutes feeling half dead I was elated.

I'm surprised how quick I've recovered with this run. Now I go and have some lunch then join my Persians for a catnap before cooking dinner.

Have a good day all lovely people.

:)

Well done! There seems to be a big group of us that have got to this stage this week (myself included). It feels great doesn't it?!

You're in the big league now! Well done! (Remember how it felt when you'd just started, and you were having to contemplate running for - ooh - 60 seconds at a time? Look how far you've come!)
