I cannot tell you how proud I feel writing this. Today I did something I never thought I could. I ran for 20 minutes. I won't lie the last 5 minutes were tough and I could have easily given up but I didn't I carried on going to complete it!!!!

Well done!

It's fantastic isn't it? Well done. And well done for keeping going at the end too! I was on such a high after that run it took me days to come down.

Well the more people the better you will feel about yourself too or it is a bit like hide and seek, if no one knows you are hiding (running) there is no point, until you can truly congratulate yourself of course. So very well done, quite a feat.
