Wk 5 run 3

Only gone and done it!!! I'm so chuffed sitting here grinning like the proverbial cat from the north west😁

And it was ok - when I got to halfway I was like really - it felt it went really quick - legs felt a bit heavy at 18 mins but I kept telling myself "you've done 18 it's only 2"

Ok a few presumably more seasoned runners went past me like road runner - I just smiled and waved - felt good

The runs in wk 1 were sheer he'll at just 60 seconds - seriously can't believe how far I've come. Not bad for a middle aged bird with a bit of excess baggage.

If anyone out there is doubting themselves - you can do this.

Am really looking forward to next wk

And it helped there was a lovely cool breeze off the Solway this morning😊
