Well, I feel like superwoman having just completed w5r3... 20 minutes without stopping.... not even once. This old pensioner body trotted along quite well really, probably the best, steadiest run yet (still 🐌 pace of course). I am amazed and feeling very smug. If I don't do anything else I will have at least have achieved this! Yay, go me!! Good luck to all those just coming up to this one. Don't bother with the nervous tummy that I had this morning... no need, you can do it! 😊

Congratulations! I’ve just completed w6r1 today. I was nervous before it as I found w5r3 a little scary.. Although chuffed I managed it, at a snail’s pace too, but did it. Anyway, let’s just say that I loved today’s run and I feel on top of the world so you have a nice surprise in store on your next run. Hope it brings you as much joy as it did me!🀩

I can't imagine getting there, but with a bit of dogged determination maybe I will! Hope I can keep the positive feeling up...

Fabulous! I'm so delighted for you - I sense that the self doubts are getting short shrift now - at least they should be. You've run for 20 minutes so you can really do this and finish the programme. Fantastic!!!

Yep, I actually told the demons to errmmm..... 'go away' in no uncertain terms when I was about half way through! Will keep pushing on!
