Wow..

Never ever ever did I think I could run for 25 minutes non stop let alone enjoy it and cover 4K..

Bring on week 7 now.

This forum is amazing for all the help and advice.

And why is it people love runners. Everyone I see from dog walkers, bike riders to gardeners always smile and some even encourage me..

I'm buzzing.

Ah! That is why we run...the buzz! I can hear it in your post and you look chuffed in your photo too! Sounds like you are running at a pretty speedy pace too. Well done! Not too long until graduation now!🙂

Brilliant. Keep at it. I know what you mean it's friendly out there. Loads of people smile and say hello. Someone actually stopped driving and waved me across the road today. Good luck with your last few runs.
