Literally walked out the door yawning and came back grinning (and with my face a lot redder lol). Looking forward to W4 on Saturday but running for 5 minutes - eek!

Well done. Don't forget; turn it around... Don't think "running for 5 mins!😲" think "running for 5 mins!πŸ‘ŒπŸ˜€"

Keepcalm-keepsmilingGraduate in reply to skeenie

Well done on completing it with a cold - thank goodness for olbas oil, I love the stuff. I completed run 2 this morning and bizarrely found it tougher than Wk4 R1. Still, it’s done πŸ™‚

Keepcalm-keepsmilingGraduate in reply to skeenie

I did it! Woke up early this morning, worrying about the tough day of work ahead of me. I decided that a run would help so off I went, in the wind and rain. Wk5 R2 done πŸ™‚
