Never once did I ever expect to ever be writing the words "I just ran for 25 minutes without stopping!" But that's exactly what I wrote many times today on messages to my family and friends! My husband and I went off this morning quietly dreading what was ahead of us - 25minutes solid running! We briefly chatted about changing our route on our warm up walk but resisted and set off following the lovely Jo Whileys advice! She said we could do it and we did! Chuffed doesn't even begin to explain our delight when she said we'd finished! Even the seagulls were quiet today as we ran, normally it sounds like they are laughing at us as we pass them perched on the lamp posts! Well that's what I think they are doing! Then we'd finished! Jo announced we were now Runners! The app stated Runners! Yippee, we thought! Feeling so proud of our achievements we literally skipped home! Hubby even said shall we run the cool down walk?!? We didn't though, it was only a brief discussion that one! We were Chatting merrily to each other about being back to walking and running for the start of week 7. Then we looked at Week 7!!!!!! No more walking! We really are Runners now! πββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈ

Congratulations and yes you really are runners, a few short runs now and you'll have the home straight in your sights and you'll be climbing hand in hand onto the podium
