Well, thanks so much to ThunderSloth for the advice to stop prevaricating and get out there to complete week 5! I went out later than usual (near twilight), had a false start on a hill, but started again, and went for it 😁😁😁😁. Saw loads of rabbits and a feeding flock of wild geese on the way, managed to step it up in the last 10 mins and even ran on for a minute or so. So pleased and gobsmacked that I did it! Onwards and upwards!!!

Slow and steady is a must on that run... it’s caught a lot of people out. You can do it, just keep a disciplined slow pace early on.

Awesome!!! Wow! I got a special mention in the title too!!! I am honoured πŸ˜ƒ So pleased for you πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ πŸ™Œ you sounded like you’d pretty much aced the previous runs, but the gremlins had got inside your head for this one maybe... and I can totally see where you were coming from it is daunting - I just gave you some positive thinking and you did the hard bit πŸŽ‰ well done _KD that’s made my evening 🀩
