End of week 5, surprising got emotional

[Logan1980]

Just completed week 5 was very worried about the 20mins non stop however it has turned out to be one of my easiest runs, i felt so strong at the finish and was going faster then than at the start and felt as if i could have gone further. Although I haven’t weighed myself since i started this my diet is still not great and I am probably still around 25 stone so my body is doing me proud and I definitely need to start rewarding it by making better food choices. Anyway when I was completing the run at halfway a couple of things Jo said to encourage me made me a bit emotional and then once I had finished hearing a voice say your amazing the whole 5 min walk to finish I was holding back the tears, it was surprising however I think it was because after 15 years of gaining weight and being depressed i have a genuine feeling that the moment 5 weeks ago when i went out and started week 1 run 1 was the moment I took back control of my life. I cannot wait to continue on this journey and for the first time in years i am proud of myself....

Well done you 20 minutes non stop running is a brilliant achievement. When you complete that run you actually convince yourself you can really do this. Enjoy the rest of your day 😊😊
