Week3, run 1

I went into this run already convinced there was no way I could run for 3 minutes once, let alone twice. Welp, except for 9 seconds on the second 3 minute run I did it! So pumped!

Well done! I just did the same run too. It's exciting to be able to run for 3 minutes straight (and twice too), isn't it? 🤗👏🏻

Hey both, when I did mine I felt like I was a real runner. 3 minutes running means you could run after a bus! Not that I would I'm not that keen. But it was the idea that 3 minutes is a serious time, it's no longer just seconds. And it really sets you up for next time out. Good luck for both of you - happy running

Well done Peggy and Connie! That inspires me no end, as I'm about to start W3 and am absolutely convinced I can't run for 3 minutes either! So maybe there's hope for new too. You must be pleased as punch! 😁 👍
