I'm sat here buzzing with excitement I've been and run the 20 minute run on week 5.

I was scared at first and after reading so many posts from other people who had been in the same place. So I planned it in my head. Picked Sarah Milligan as my voice coach and The greatest showman soundtrack and boom off iwent .

Got half way heard the bell and thought oh my goodness me only halfway. But I made it to the end . Didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Sat in my court yard and facetimed my gorgeous partner and squealed with excitement at him.

You did all the right things, planning is everything.

Enjoy the rest days.

Well done! As you progress it gets no less emotional as you break through these time barriers.
