Week 4.... can I really run for 5 minutes

[emmaclare1982]

here I am in sunny Egypt on holiday and I’ve decided that I would carry on with the running.

Well let me tell you I thought running in a cool air conditioned gym was hard - running at 0630 in 34 degrees is a killer!

Tomorrow I start week four and am having serious doubts that I can run for 5 minutes as running for 3 minutes almost killed me.

Part of me is worried that I will try and fail but the other part is worried that I won’t even try...

Update you in the morning...

Great pikkie I love running tourism... Maybe get up earlier... I ran in The Dordogne one August, but was out very, very early. is there a gym at the hotel?

That is exactly how I felt but every run I thought I would fail. I told myself that, even if I couldn't run, I would have done a walk which was a good thing. That way I always set off and I managed to do all the runs. Just set off!

Just go very slowly. No rush. 🏃‍♀️👍😃

I did it!!!! I wanted to fall on the floor and pass out but I did it!! Must admit I had a little cry, which I know is silly but if you had told me a few weeks ago I would be able to run for 5 minutes I would have laughed... so chuffed!
