I cannot believe what I've done. Not that many weeks ago running for a minute was challenging.
I was a bit worried - but thanks to those who advised on the mental challenge of convincing myself to keep going. Every time Laura told me another 5 minutes had passed I just reminded myself that a couple of weeks ago I couldn't manage more than 5 minutes at all.
It seemed to work well, because I did it. Breathing deeply also seemed to help with fatigue!
Starting to look very autumnal now!

Oh yeah!!! This is it!!! It's the one where you think to yourself -- hang on, if I can run 20 minutes, surely I can work my way up to 22 -- 25 -- 28 -- 30 -- maybe even further -- you know what, I don't have to worry -- just keep running and THE TROPHY IS MINE FOR THE TAKING!!
Well done! You are indeed a runner, and you did that all yourself
Yay! Well done Ashleev! W5R3 is an amazing accomplishment and feels quite the miracle. It almost feels like a reward for all the hard work you have put in, a chance to show you what your body/mind is now capable of. So happy for you. π
Fab-u-lous!!!! That run was a toughy for me, I think I had 3 attempts at it!!! It is more of a mental challenge, as you say, but you got rid of those pesky gremlins, dug deep & nailed it...superstar!!!
Well done .. it's such a buzz when that milestone run completed and gave me confidence in completing the next few weeks ππππππππ keep going fellow runner
