We did it!! Me and my little boy managed the full 20mins. Found the first 5 mins really tough- by halfway I thought I might have to stop- but kept setting mini- goals in my mind- and before I knew it 5 mins to go- then I knew I couldn’t give up with the goal post so close.

I was so proud of both of us. He gets lots of compliments and praise from other runners and walkers - I just get ignored 😊

Anyway- for any of you still coming up on this seemingly daunting run - just go for it (at a 🐌 pace of course). If I can do it then you can too.
