Well that’s it, w5 r3 done this morning, and like everyone says it is mind over matter, after the half way I felt I really was going to make it.

I didn’t run any longer and took it very slow but what a great sense of achievement, can’t believe a few weeks ago I could hardly run for 3 mins.

BIG thank you to all the support my last post received it truly did give me that extra motivation to keep going, good luck to all my fellow runners today YOU CAN DO IT!! 💕⭐️

On to week 6 😊 xx

Congrats lola.well done. I've completed mine this afternoon. Thought about 10 mins in that I couldn't carry on then amazingly I got a second wind. Slowed down slightly and then heard 5 mins to go. Feel slightly tired but elated. Week 6 here we come!
