It sounds like you’re doing great! It's hot out there so things are tough, but you’re making progress. Good luck and happy running!

I am doing my Week 6 Run 3 tomorrow, hoping it goes ok 🤞🏼

You may not feel euphoric (I think that Week 5 Run 3 set us up to feel like we should feel euphoric at the end of each week!), but you should feel very proud of yourself - from 30 seconds of running 6 weeks ago, to 25 minutes now?! That’s amazing!

Good luck with Week 7 - you’re a runner now!
