Week 6 completed.

Just back from the final run of week 6 - a bit later than usual and it was hot (will be far hotter later). After the first two runs of week 6 having walking I thought I would prefer a straight run but this was the hardest one yet. When Jo told me I had only done five minutes I groaned, after twenty minutes I was ready to give up BUT I didn’t. I did make it, a slow time and I am only doing just over 3k but that’s fine, I’m doing it and compared to the beginning when I thought I would never be able to run for five minutes I’m doing great.

That is great stuff. Running for 25 minutes without stopping is some achievement when compared to Week 1. Amazing.
