Completed this morning at 5:45am! 🏃♀️ 😀
Other half came for moral support (I actually think I prefer running on my own 🤫).
There is a slight elevation on my usual route around the village that usually doesn’t cause me any trouble with well-timed walking intervals but I got to it around the 11th minute and I started to think I might not get through it. But I slowed down a bit and tried to distract my brain with other things and I managed it! I managed it all!!
Now for that pesky week 6...... 💪🏻
Yay, good for you! Better still that you slayed any lurking gremlins on your hill! They’ll be reluctant to return now! 👍🏻👍🏻
You’ve no doubt read all the warnings about W6R1 ...... if not, do so. And slow right down for it. It’s pesky! Good luck. 😀👏😀
W5R3 is a big milestone in the programme, so bravo for completing it, especially at silly o'clock in the morning! Good luck with week 6!
Brilliant well done 🤗
Well done in completing that 20 minute run of week 5 and at the time of day you ran it. Anyone now running before 6am will now find that it is getting dark.
Yay! Week 6 bring it on!
Wooooo well done you! Hoping to follow you in smashing that rather intimidating milestone on Friday! And extra well done for dealing with the hill, I am forever grateful I started the programme after moving somewhere totally flat...
YAY!!! Week 6 better watch out! My husband has taken to joining me on my runs when he's home and I definitely much prefer being out by myself.... 
Oh I know what you mean about running on your own! For weeks 8 and 9 I moved into the gym as it was just ridiculously hot. This meant Husband decided to join me, not having run for years (well quarter of a century actually!) it was terribly worrying watching him. He struggled to get the treadmill working properly, he didn’t really have the correct shoes, he wanted to TALK and I was convinced he was going to go flying off the end.
I’m back to running outdoors and on my own, aaaah lovely! Running is not just about the physical stuff, it’s the headspace as well!
W5R3 done!
Woo hoo! W5R3 done
W5R3 done!
W5R3 done!!!! 
The dreaded W5R3 done!
