Did it! If you'd said to me 5 weeks ago that I would run for 20 mins non stop, I wouldn't have believed you. So pleased that I've done it. Laura was right, it's all mental training this week. I've done my stretches and I'm off for a well earned shower now. It was warm out there this morning. I'm going to grin all day today.

Congratulations! Amazing achievement, and so incredible to think that it wasn't so much our bodies we needed to convince but our minds! Well done, a victory for you over your mental habits and assumptions!

It's such a fabulous feeling isn't it? Well done you- Onwards and Upwards :)

Thanks to everyone for the motivation and support. It has really helped. I read the daily digests most days and everyone is great. It's really spurred me on.
