I only did it! 😁😁😁

Barely slept all night, almost didn't go. Went at 05:30 and made it all the way!

Absolutely delighted as could barely do a minute 5 weeks ago.

It was hard but really not as bad as I feared πŸ‘πŸ»

Same run for me and off at the same time...! Wasn't too much looking forward to it as couldn't imagine myself doing it but you've just got to keep positive and pushing - we both made it! Well done πŸ‘

Woohoo! Me too πŸ˜€ I also had a terrible night's sleep after over-Googling 'Week5 Run 3' last night. I faffed around this morning before leaving the house but made it out for 7am. My face on the way to the park during the 5min brisk walk = 😱..I was really not feeling very game face about the 20min run.

Sorted my head out by the time I got to the park and got the tunes on, I took it steady and in my head, I broke it down into 5min chunks... I kept going...and did it! I have to say it wasn't as hard as I was fearing and actually was ok. Even when the rain started and felt like needles on my face, lol. I honestly can't believe I ran a straight 20mins without stopping!!!! I felt like giving out high fives to the dog walkers but then that would've just been a bit weird!

So well done us for completing Week 5. WE DID IT πŸ’ͺ🏻 See you next week for Week 6!
