Omg I just jogged for 20 minutes non stop 😊😁

Was a little worried about this run this week, but was determined to do it.

In preparation I had been to buy some running wear as I had been holding back incase I decided running wasn't for me.So this morning I put on my new leggings , top and bum bag thing. I stood looking in the mirror and nearly died, I looked like Vicky pollard in this bright pink clothing, what do I think I look like.

With a quick change of top I was ready ,

it was fine until about 18 minutes, then I had to dig deep, but I did it.

To think after W1 I actually felt like I had been hit by a bus after one minute, I can't believe how fitter I am after only 5 weeks

Vicki Pollard!! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Brilliant!! Well done you. It makes you feel amazing doesn't it?! I'm like you would never have thought I could run for that long-Ever! It's amazing what we can do if we push ourselves. Good Luck for the longer runs! I just keep repeating the mantra 'slow and steady gets you there'..........πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
