I decided not to work myself up about this one. I put my trainers on and headed down to the river before I had the opportunity to persuade myself I couldn't do it. My boyfriend has been following my progress, so he was aware this was a big one for me. Yesterday he presented me with a mix tape he'd made, including lots of my favourite feel good classics. I lost steam around the 10 minute mark and then the song changed and I felt like a 2nd wind pushed me through. I've accepted it's okay to look a little bonkers. I found myself cheering myself on and shouting 'keep going' over the music. Good luck to every one completing week 5. Hope you can all find some motivating music. Happy Wednesday ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

I cheer myself on and shouting 'keep going' too but only in my head - wouldn't want people thinking I'm strange ;)

Well done for doing the scariest run!

I've found myself saying "oh my God" when I've come to a hill, quite a few times. One day someone will hear me,,,,
