I DID IT !!! My head was screaming at me you need to stop, my lungs were on fire, I had stitch for the final 4 minutes but I didn't stop........ I knew it was going to be tough but those demons are terrible!! But on to week 6 next week and hopefully without those demons screaming in my head anymore.

And yes my hip/bruise is still painful but that was the least of my worries today . My Physio appointment went well and I have some work to do on my calves and my IT band, but she told me she was amazed that I was running again. So I'm one happy bunny :D

Maybe next time you get a longer run you'll get the teletubbies voice saying 'again! Again!' 😸👟👟👟👟👟😸

Welcome to week 6 and remember your PB is now 20 minutes continuous running.
