Great job... week 3 is a bit of a scary one when we first look at it, and you crossed the finish line when you didn’t feel like crossing the start line... there’s quite a few victories in that one run when you think about it.

You’re not wrong. I’d been putting it off all afternoon when I came home from work. I even told myself no didn’t want to carry on with it all but then something made me get my trainers on. I really enjoyed it as soon as I got outside xx

Keep enjoying yourself out there... and soon you will remember how much you do... at the point the best addiction in the world can have you!

You’re doing really well... and your inner awesome is starting to shine through... let it out over the next few weeks and be damn proud of yourself.

Well done. I don't think I've ever regretted a run once I've got back, but I can always find ten 'urgent' things that need doing before I go.

Well done for going out even when you weren’t feeling it! Revel in your brilliance for getting out and enjoy those endorphins 😊

Well done! The feeling you get on completing a run, especially if you didn't feel like going out, is soooooo good. I'm enjoying week 3 so much have repeated it! Wasn't quite confident I could do 5 mins for Week 4, but am sure will be ok. See you there next week!

Well done... I did my first run of Week 3 on Sunday 10/11 and after running round after my nearly 2 year old granddaughter, I really didn't want to go out but I pushed myself and did it, was running (if you can call it that) at a snails pace, 2nd run tonight!! EEK!! We can do this :-)
