13 whole minutes

So being nervous about the scary 20 minute run next week, we decided to gradually build up the last run! Now bear in mind the longest I have ever run for outside is 5 minutes, today we managed 13 minutes! I don't know where it came from! 2.5 mins in, I didn't think I would make it to 5, but some how a second win came from no where! Determined to add one minute on, I some how forgot to look at my clock and I had gone over 1 minute so thought to 2 and then it made sense to get to a total of 10 minutes, then I got to my favourite area to run, the only flat part of our run and thought, I can get to the end of this bit! Next thing you know we have run 13 minutes non stop! Boring story I am afraid, but I can't stop smiling and loving life right now! Less than 6 weeks ago I couldn't run a minute!!!
