After stressing about running week 5 run 3 - I did it last night. I went to the local common as nothing was going to stop me. Especially traffic. I did it and did not stop. I still had a little bit in the trunk at the end. It was slow but I did it!! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

I think that run was the one that made me realise I could do it, such a great feeling when you think holy cow, I ran 20 mins : )

I know!! Once I got to 10 mins I thought I can’t stop now. I’m over half way. It was a slow run which was deliberate. I just wanted to focus on keeping going πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜Š

Thanks hun. I did day 2 on Wednesday and actually found the 8 minutes ok. 20’s such a jump though! Going slows definitely the way forward. And remembering to breath properly!
