W5r3 done!

[SleepySloth]

Hurrah! I did it! 🎉🎉🎉 My daughter looked at me like she didn't really believe me when I said it was for 20 minutes when I set off, because she went out with me on my repeat of W1r1 and knows how hard I found it. Of course, having got back, she barely looked up from her iPad 🙄 but I don't care 🙂.

Well done. That's a real achievement. See how long it takes your daughter to notice your big grin 😀

[Beelady Graduate]

Woop woop well done!! I just did my W5 R3 at half seven this morning too so am right with you. I'm having having a satisfying soak in the bath trying to take it what I've just done. Enjoy the day.

Well done sleepysloth, bet you came through the door walking on air. 😄

[Polly2723 Graduate]

Well done - it's such an awesome feeling completing this run!

Well done - such a great feeling

[McFitty Graduate]

So you and Beelady are running buddies. Having people at the same stage as you on the programme is so cool. You can really bounce off each other (not literally)! Congratulations on nailing this one, it's a massive achievement. Go get week 6

[Cianalas]

Well done! That run feels like a real turning point. Good luck for week6.

Well done you. Never mind about the progeny, she'll sit up and take notice one day. Just keep on running. That was thecbig hurdle and it is a great achievement to complete that 20 min run.

Im still a bit off but W5R3 scares me. How did you find it?

[SleepySloth Graduate in reply to Titch121]

I tried not to think too hard about it in advance. I did have lots of other deadlines in the couple of days before the run, which helped keep my mind off it. On the day, I really tried to go slowly, so when there was someone walking in front I was almost trying not to catch them up! And then, playing games like would I dance to this music or what I was doing for the rest of the day meant I didn't concentrate on the run itself. As I said in my reply to Beelady , early on I found Laura's time keeping annoying, as it reminded me how far I had to go, but I definitely needed the prompting nearer the end. I didn't ache too much and was ok the next day
