HOLY SH*T I JUST RAN FOR 20 MINUTES!!!!!!

I actually did it! And I enjoyed it. And I spread up for the last 2 minutes. And it was windy and rainy. And the final 5 minutes were on an incline.

BUT the post run high is incredible. And I am so so so proud.

I have never ever run for 20 minutes in my life and today I did it and it was easy.

Big Fat FRIYAY Everyone :-D

Didn’t go as well as hoped for me - ran for about 8 mins then walked for about 1 min then another minute walk towards the end. I don’t know what happened, wasn’t my breathing or legs not working but mentally i think I struggled plus it was very windy!!!

So happy for you 😀 you did great 👍
