YAY!! I did it, so pleased that first one is over. It was quiet out there which is good for me as I’m a little self conscious. Go Rea2020......x

Well done, it's so hard to get out and do the first run, next one will be easier.

How you getting on Crystalglass? Just finished W1R3. It was a struggle, but I did it. Quite proud of myself 😇 x

Well done. I too have just completed W1R3. Can’t believe I actually managed to keep going through each run today without stopping. (well, very slow jog actually!)

AND I actually enjoyed it today. Me, who always hated running 👀🤪

Just completed W1R3 and I’m feeling 👍 I had sore legs after R1 but not since I’ve also had a niggly pain in my groin but will keep an eye on that. All in all, I’m proud of myself x
