W5R3 = North Wind do your worst = I feel like a runner now!!

[Merrybell]

I can’t believe I did it! Beautiful sunny morning but with a bitter strong north wind. The extra hour swung it so I couldn’t procrastinate any more, and just needed to face it! I knew it was going to be a mental battle, rather than physical and just determined to slog through it. As I got past the first 10 minutes I began to believe it was possible, and when I’d got 15 under my belt there was no way I was going to stop! At that point I got stitch, which really put my resolve to the test. The last long 2 minutes coincided with a turn into the teeth of the wind. Bring it on!! There was nothing stopping me. For the first time I really felt like a runner! Love this programme!

Well done, you should feel ridiculously pleased with yourself.

It is a great achievement so be proud.

Hang on to all that belief for the next run which can be tricky for some.

Keep running keep smiling.
