I did it!!!! The gremlins nearly got me, after a Nando's lunch I flaked out on the sofa and tried to put it off til tomorrow, but I gave it a couple of hours to digest and got out there and ran 20 whole minutes without stopping! Go me!!!

Was flipping hard, but feel so proud! xx

It's just the best feeling getting through that run. Well done! It's a real turning point in the programme nailing that one - you should be very proud 😊

Good! That's the spirit πŸ™‚ It's a good idea to run off a pub lunch. It will make you feel better

My husband offered to take me to Nando's yesterday. I have never been but he changed his mind In deference to my staying fit and healthy 😬 Oh well it's the thought that counts πŸ™„
