I just kept going. It wasn’t easy. I wasn’t sure if I would manage it but I did! Longest run ever!

MapMyRun failed me again and plotted some bizarre route over the river without a bridge. Telling me I had done 5.1k. Not true. But I don’t care about the distance just that I kept going.

Aww thanks Michele! Freezing and a bit crunchy underfoot but we tried to stay on grass where possible. My husband has been great and had usually managed to do a weekend run with me since about W3. I remembered everyone saying the 1st 10 mins is the worst so when I got to 12.5 I reminded myself that it would get easier for the second half. Last 5 mins were a killer but a great sense of achievement. Good luck for your run tomorrow! X

Well done! I’m on W6r2 today, and nervous. Week 6 appears to be a hard adjustment from all the comments :-( but your success encourages me :-)!
