It's done! If I wasn't there myself I wouldn't believe it, wooo hoooo! Give that woman a big pat on the back. I nearly didn't go, took the dog for a walk hubby had made me a cup of tea when I got back and it looked like rain but I thought it's now or never don't waste your progress from no exercise.

On went the gear and out the door I went!

So chuffed that I just kept going, even managed a few mornings to dog walkers and a smile ☺️

I didn't look pretty and here is my shade of red but I have a big grin!

You look wonderful and many congratulations on the the run as this one is more a mental barrier than a physical one!!

Well done 🌟

Well done. I finished week 4 yesterday and took a sneaky peek at Week 5 after reading some of the posts - good to know it can be done :)

It is definitely mind over matter. I just took inspiration from others. Glad my post shows it can be done even for a 56 year old newbie to exercise of any sort!

Well done Cornet-Carolyn, that’s the kind of dedication you need...& we like it!! You’ve done better than me coz it took me 3 attempts at that cheeky little run!! Now, whenever I’m running & i get to the 20 min mark I always think ‘that’s W5R3 done!!’ ...keep at it, you’re doing fantastic 😉

That’s the big one out of the way when you realise you can actually do this.

Plain sailing from here.

Just keep it nice and slow and enjoy the rest day.

Well done you!
