A tearful W5R3

When Laura said it was time to stop I got so emotional! I just can't believe I ran for 20 minutes. I know so many people who run marathons and I know 20 minutes to them is barely a warm up but I am really proud of myself!

Congratulations, you deserve to have a massive grim for at least a full day, you've earned it!

You have also broken the hardest barrier you will come across, that is yourself!

I think W5R3 is in there with a seemingly big jump up to show you what you are now capable of!

And so you should be!!! W5R3 for some is an absolute milestone....I know it was for me, I really thought I'd never do it, but I did!! It's mentally challenging more than physical coz when you see it's 20 mins you immediately think you can't do it...I think I had a couple of practice runs but I eventually did it...& the joy was immense!!!! I know exactly how you feel & hope it lasts for yonks like it did with me!!! Well done
