W5R3 Jubilation!

I've been lurking around here, reading all sorts of posts, for ages. Today it's finally time to contribute myself and I have to admit to being entirely selfish - I just had to share my jubilation at completing the notorious W5R3 and feeling pretty bloody great afterwards! I actually ran continuously for about 22 minutes. And it wasn't nearly as awful as I was expecting, in fact it wasn't awful at all. Hooray!

Yay! Well done! It is a milestone but now you've run non-stop for 22 minutes, 30 minutes isn't really any harder ... honest! Just keep plugging away.
