Jo said I should tell anyone who will listen about my achievements this week. My husband doesn't listen so I'm telling you lot instead.....

I JUST RAN FOR 25 MINUTES WITHOUT STOPPING AND IT WASN'T A DREAM!

Well done 👍🏻 I did that on Monday, was so pleased with myself! Started week 7 today, three 25 mins runs ahead but today seemed easier, I really enjoyed it! Hope you enjoy the rest of the plan.

Thank you and well done to you too 😁

I'm hoping I have enough fuel in the tank to get through week seven! It doesn't seem as daunting now that i have one of the 25 minute runs in the bag. Good luck for the rest of your week!

Thank you!

My husband is currently plugged into an electric guitar so there is no talking to him at the moment. Bless him, he doesn't get it when I'm over the moon with my little (big) achievements. He runs half marathons.....need i say more! 😂

Brilliant news, I'm a run behind and will do it tomorrow, trying not to think of this one. Know what you mean about parents, just been told my Dad needs extra funding to move rooms, not certain he'll get it?! Feel like going out now but that is 2 glasses of wine and my bi polar speaking 🙄. Fantastic news for you, and you're enjoying it, even better

Lindsey-joyGraduate in reply to Meepmum

Good luck with the run tomorrow. I found it OK and it didn't feel too much longer than the 20 minute one thank goodness!

I hope that everything works out for your dad and he gets the funding he needs. It's such a worry isn't it?

Lindsey-joyGraduate in reply to TeeBedders

Thank you! I honestly couldn't see me getting this far either, especially as i struggled running for 60 s six weeks ago. It has really surprised me! Keep going, you will get to where you want to be. In the words of the great Bon Jovi,....."keep the faith!"
