Im an ACTUAL runner !!

Ok, when i started this i literally could not speak and needed an iron lung after running for 60 seconds ! I always hated running at school and had never done it since, i used to look at people running and could not think of a worse torture.

I have just completed week 5 run 3 and ran ( very slowwwly) for 20 minutes. I did not stop, i did not cheat and i am ridiculously proud of myself, my sister and my daughter. The elation i felt after this run !

If i can do this, YOU can do this !
