Well I can’t quite believe it but I’ve just completed the 20 min run on week 5 run 3! Starting to feel like the inner runner (plodder) in me is emerging. I think listening to BeyoncΓ© helped me keep going after all she has a proper butt and is fit πŸ˜‚ and Michael J’s lovely voice 😍

πŸ˜‚ I think I’m still in shock

WHOO-HOO! πŸ˜βœ¨πŸŽ†πŸŽˆ I remember that run like it was yesterday. I try to be positive but I was thinking if you get to 15 minutes you've done well... Even 10 minutes would good! Yes, yes I'd be happy with 10 minutes today...

10 minutes... 15 minutes... 20 minutes. I honestly couldn't believe it, I was ecstatic. Such a great feeling, that walk home was absolutely joyous!

Congratulations! Nothing stopping you now! Enjoy the weekend!
