W6R3 Done!!!

I can't believe I did it. Before I went out I was sure I wouldn't. When Laura said that I had 1 minute left and if I felt OK go a bit faster, I did and it felt amazing! What a buzz.

Isn't it just fantastic when you can speed up for that final minute? Especially when you have been struggling through the earlier minutes - Brilliant!

Good luck. Stick with it. The third run is the hardest but run 2 prepares you for it. Good luck

I just completed the same run today. It was tough but just focused and then all of a sudden Laura said I had 1 minute left. Are you nuts?! Then said to speed up and I did! I am tired but actually wasn't breathing hard, just sweaty. I'm down 18 pounds since I started the program and have decreased blood pressure pills by 1 tab a day. So I am a runner officially today and you are too.

I can't believe that I am at this stage. I clocked it in the car and it was 2.2 miles!!!!! I've never run that in my life. I'm in North Carolina, the weather was beautiful today and that helped.

Advice to all- stick with it. I am 56 years old, never run a day in my life but hike and play tennis and I am a runner. You are too.

Not what you're looking for?
