I did it!! I did it!! Never thought I could jog for 20 minutes!!! I really struggled the first couple of minutes and had a serious talk to myself. When I realised Sarah told me I had run for 5 min. I'm soooo chuffed.

So did I and I can’t believe it either! The last part of my run is up a long, slight gradient and I really didn’t think I would make it, but I did!

Well done you - I know exactly how you feel! Euphoric!!!!

Slight gradient!? That's great!!! I think I would have run on the spot until the end!!.

Thanks for the warning about next week. I was trying to think the rest of the weeks were around 20 minutes maximum so quite achievable... Maybe i'll keep the "warning" in minds.

Happy running!!
