Morning All,

Well on Friday I completed the Week 5 run 3 to my complete surprise.

The first 5mins as usual were hard but ok, the next 3mins I had tightness in the bottom of my shins but from there I got my pace sorted and it was fine.

So proud of myself. Yay 😊

Well done πŸ‘πŸΌ I found my perfect pace and my breathing slotted into place on WK5R2 so I wasn't feeling as daunted by WK5R3.

I completed the run, which I never thought I'd do at the beginning of this program, and I felt truly amazing 😁

I'm due to do WK6R1 after I've dropped my daughter at work this morning and I can't wait to get out there!! Keep up the good work, you're doing brilliantly πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ

Thank you. I'm still struggling with my breathing but I'm sure it'll come eventually. Good luck with week 6. I'll join you in a bit 😊

Aww thanks. I haven't looked ahead but suspect tonights run is going to be a long one too from what Ms Millican warned at the beginning of week 6. Fingers crossed πŸ˜‚
