Thank you to all of you who spurred me on with positive words and encouragement. I DID IT! And you're right, it does feel Great! I can't believe I've managed to up my fitness levels enough to be able to do that. I put on a great murder mystery story and just got on with it! And when Michael Johnson butted in and announced that I had done 15 mins and only had 5 to go, I was astonished! It just flew by!! 😄 Bring on week 6!

Yay well done! It’s an amazing feeling, that run! Fabulous!

Beware the sneaky W6R1. A cheeky little blighter. Don’t be fooled by its simplicity and stay slow! 😀💪🏻

It's a great feeling knowing that you've achieved so much. I just completed my 20 minute run and it felt amazing. Well done.

You're literally one step( on the program ) in front of me, and you, MYR are one of my sources of inspiration that power me onwards, towards the 5K goal. I offer my humble congratulations and send blessings and best wishes as you continue along your journey. Running the World together 5K at a time.

My wk5 rn3 Thurs 16/08😅

Oooh, what story?

I usually listen to podcasts or audiobooks when I run.

I was thinking it might be fun to get a really juicy addictive mystery audiobook and ONLY listen while running. Kind of an incentive to get out there again. "What happens next?!?"

Congratulations, this is a big one and you did it. 🌟🌟🌟

Who’s afraid of the big bad W5R3?

Don’t be. Just adopt an “I can do this” attitude and go at a slightly slower pace than normal....
