I did it!!!!!!

15 Replies

I just ran for twenty minutes!! Honestly even a few days ago this seemed impossible.... But thanks to all you lovely people for your encouragement and hints I have done it! In the teeming rain ! ( telling myself how lucky I was not to be trying to run in the heat).

Thank you all for helping me get this far!

Fantastic!! Really pleased for you. I always used to snort when people suggested running to me - 'Me?! As if!' You probably felt the same too but check you out now :) Keep going!

Actually have never run in the sun! Optimistically bought shorts and a short sleeve running top but not needed them!

YOU did it Hilary.. you should be very proud of yourself. 20 mins non stop is fantastic. That is the tough one done, once you can run for 20 mins there's nothin' gonna stop you now...

Good luck with week 6. 😊
