Feeling brilliant!!! I had that feeling of wanting to climb under the duvet after work but instead of watching the depressing news I got on my treadmill. The reward being finished before Emmerdale. ( I don’t get out much πŸ˜‚). 20 minutes!!! I jogged for 20 minutes!!! I slowed it down a notch when I felt a bit worn out but I didn’t stop and knocked it back up a notch as soon as I could!

I’m sooooo proud of myself! Arthritis, diabetes and a hip replacement won’t stop me! πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Thanks for this! Seems so many are finishing week 5 today! I've only run the first run and had a bit of heel pain so have laid off but intend to run tomorrow morning for W5R2. Knowing so many have done the full 20 minutes this week is inspiring!
