Can't believe that I've got to this point! A few weeks ago, I couldn't imagine running for more than a minute, let alone five- twice!! It was the hardest I've pushed myself in a long time, and I nearly didn't make it, but I have a very supportive running partner (my mum), who helps me through!

Us Mums, we have our uses:) x

Very well done you...it is amazing isn't it... I remember my first Week 1 runs... and I know I thought I might collapse... and now, well!

You are doing just fine... take it steady, and in the hard moments, just pull back and know that those legs will take you on.

Each run makes you stronger, mentally and physically...

So reluctant with mum's help it got done. Well done both of you, if you are reluctant runner, what's her running name? I am guessing at "reluctant but supportive as mums are". Bit long winded though!
