And..... breathe. W6R3 done - hooray!

β€’25 Replies

Wow - can't believe I did that. 25 minutes. Never thought when I started this that I would ever be able to do that. Yet here I am - living (just about) proof that it can be done. I wouldn't say I found it easy - but I definitely found it easier than R1&2. Good luck to all those running today. Shout out to sallenson - couldn't have done it without you on my shoulder shouting all the way. In my head you look like David the Science guy from Friends - sorry if that's way off the mark, but it will always be in my head now!

Stay calm & keep on running everyone!

Great running WITCHY!

Knew you could do it πŸ˜—

Well done to you.

I just finished W6R1 and I'm drained. Think it's definitely easier when you don't have to stop.

Good luck to you with W7.

Just did it! Tough. Tend to feel like the first ten mins are always the roughest until my legs and breathing settle down. Those last 5 mins were hard though. Michael Johnson suggesting I go faster to finish on a high? Not a chance!!!! :)

Done though. Feelin good!

Definitely! Unless you're not a fan of course.... I always wanted to be Rachel but I suspect I'm more of a Monica....
