Weeeeee!! I did it! I actually flipping did it! I'd say it's a better feeling than chocolate but I'd be lying. It is however a close second.
I was supposed to do the run yesterday but it was pouring down with rain and I was very tired so thought I wouldn't set myself up for a fall.
This morning I felt good. There was a slight breeze keeping it at a cool 10 degrees so off I set on my 5 minute walk. When Laura told me to start running, off I went. Nice steady pace. "You've been running for 5 minutes" - wait, what?! Is that all? Surely it's been longer than that!! Ok, keep going, one foot in front of the other. 10 minutes down. Ok half way through. Round the corner I went, dodge the dog walker, round the group of ramblers warming up and now I'm 15 minutes in. I think I might actually do this. Plod plod plod, I'm really hot now, I've slowed down a little bit because the end is so close. 2 minutes to go.......and there is Laura telling me I've done it. No way!! The grin on my face is instant and I'm so proud and pleased with myself for not stopping. It really was mind over matter for me today. There were a couple of times where I thought I could have a cheeky walk but I didn't - I just kept going and I'm pleased that I did.
If this is how I feel after this week, how on earth am I going to feel when I finish the plan. Looking forward to that feeling!!
Very happy face ticked on the app today.

Ha ha ha!! Normally I wait until I've recovered my breathe to take one but this time I took it as soon as I had finished so there you have the genuine goofy grin. Roll on week 6!
We have a few women here who always wear red lipstick. I do now as it makes me feel more glam and happy and goes with my nice clothes ( no mascara as we would have an alice cooper moment!!). I am positively beetroot after my 30 mins runs so there is a small clash with the colour! You look an amazing colour no beetroot anywhere!!!!
Me too! I finished it today. Still in shock. I felt the same as you when Laura said I'd been running for five mins - thought - feels more like five days! Could do without that tbh - I nearly gave up there & then! Well done for completing it - here's to W6 - although we need to be careful - reading on here W6R1 is a tricky one.... good luck & keep us posted.
I'm a little worried about week 6. After the high I got today I'm worried I'm going to get cocky and mess it up. Just need to repeat slow and steady wins the race 😊
