Third 30-Minute Run – Done!

I did it - it wasn't pretty and was by no means the best run I've had. They sky was grey and my music wasn't quite right, didn't really feel like I wasn't firing on all cylinders. It was also extraordinarily slow - 3.2k. A whole 5k still feels a long way off - but I can run for 30 mins without stopping, which is extraordinary considering that just one minute felt so strange and unnatural not that long ago. Everyone who is trying - keep at it - it's a cliche but if I can do it you can too! Everyone who has given me advice and support - a huge THANK YOU. Finally a thank you to the whole community here – reading about everyone's journey has really made a difference.

BeaBowBea tomorrow will be my last run of week 9 and so far my best is 3.3km so I'm at the same pace as you. That 30 minutes of running is brilliant, well done. We can both do this now.

About to set out on W9 R2 and I haven't yet measured my distance for just the running part. But it won;t be anywhere near 5k, that's for sure! The point is the goal, and you've achieved it. All power to you. 💪💪💪
