W7 done!!

[Sybilw]

Well I’ve just run for nearly 27 min!! Not showing off but you know how you want to get back to where you started (is that just me?). Anyway didn’t turn at half way but tried to continue round the field and judge it by eye but throw in a hill (ok it was just a slight incline!) and I went a bit over. That leaves me feeling upbeat for next week. I realise this is a very boring post but I’m just so chuffed at being able to actually do this and my family can only muster up so much interest. If it wasn’t for the sweaty mess that arrives back on the doorstep saying “do you know how far you can go in 25 min?” theyd think I’d just popped out to Tesco. Maybe that should be my next route!! This is the first thing I’ve done for myself maybe since my first child was born (she’s 40!). Quite emotional - goodness knows what I’ll be like in 2 weeks time when I graduate.

Your post is NOT boring Sybil. It is great to hear you're doing so well and hey, a hill is a hill as far as I'm concerned.

Twenty minutes, 25, 27, 28 and then the 30, every successful continuous run is something to shout about. There maybe those who will scoff and laugh when you say how far you have run in that time, but remember, sweaty mess or not, you have done it, they haven't.

Go for it, just 2 weeks to go and you've got 50,000+ people with you every step of the way!

Thank you so much. I always know people here care and you’re proof of that. I’ll be a July graduate - watch this space!
