Go forward or repeat? Well I went forward

Thank you for all the advice. Despite my niggles I managed 25 minutes solid on Friday and just back from another 25 minutes tonight. I honestly can’t believe I can run that far. My mind still likes to persuade me I can’t but my one more step mantra is starting to work!

Well done! I just did my first 25 mins today! Pretty unbelievable isn’t it? Not easy, mind you!

Must admit I was convinced I only had 1 minute to go. Was gutted when I realized it was another 5! So glad I stuck with it
