Can't believe it. Just did this run in the rain. I'm so shocked it felt great. Feels such a long time ago that I thought I was going to collapse after running 60 seconds!!!!! This has been my favourite week so far. I'm actually looking forward to run 3 now

Slow and steady, saunter, don't smash... take it gently and enjoy the run to come.

The smash just refers to my sheer excitement of completing it!!!!! Slow & steady is definitely the way I run

Well done Bear7. I completed Week5 Run2 this morning too. 5-45am, no wind or rain. I could hear birds singing rather than my wheezing for a change. AND I enjoyed this one too!!! Hang on, did I say enjoyed? It sounds like a different person talking! I took it slow and steady as have made the mistake in the past of setting off too quickly. Week 5 Run3 is a completely different ball game though. Saturday morning...here I come!

I think this week is a real turning point as I have seen lots of people say they have enjoyed it. Good luck for Saturday-let me know how you get on. I'm doing mine Sunday!
