Who'd have thought that little old me (not exactly little but def old) could achieve such a thing as running non stop for 30 whole minutes. I'm still in a bit of a daze. It's my only achievement in life other than being the proud 'owner' of 5 beautiful kiddywinks.

This challenge has made me see that I can actually do running. Ok not every day has been a breeze, more like a freeze. But generally I have enjoyed it and Laura has been an absolute star.

Superb job. You’re gonna love runs that aren’t quite so many laps! Those kids must be so proud. Happy running.

Hope you enjoy the next few weeks too ! Have fun !
