WK5R3 I Done It!!

That's right, I done it, wasn't pretty or fast but I ran for 20 minutes!! 😁😁

The 10 min marker seemed to be signal for my stitch to make an appearance and holy hell it hurt but I pushed it to the back of my mind. I almost quit every few mins πŸ˜‚ Then came the 2 min to go prompt and I could have died, then the music went quiet again and I thought this will be the 1 min to go prompt and she told me I was done! Oh my goodness what a feeling πŸŽ‰πŸ˜πŸ’ͺ

If you read this and are finding it hard then read my previous posts, I've struggled all the way and I know my struggle is not over yet, but believe me when I say, if I can do it, you can too! Leave your ego at the door and just keep going 😁

Well done you!

I’ve been so lucky not to get a stitch and I have no clue how I would cope if I got one. I remember them clearly from school. Fantastic pushing through it.

It's not a nice feeling, thought I had escaped it but unfortunately not! Fingers crossed it's not a recurring theme lol! Thanks x
