20 minutes of running !!!!Go me

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.

Fab! W5R3 is the best. Well done you. I was on a high for days after that one.
