W5R3 Can't believe I did It!

Woop! Woop! Just finished W5R3 - NEVER thought I'd manage to run for a whole 20 minutes (albeit very, very, very slowly). All the positive messages here and the lovely Laura are such brilliant motivation. If I can do this, a totally unfit, totally unsporty 50-something, anyone can. Yipee!

Well done! Congrats! And good luck with week 6!

Keep at it, and remember is not about speed, you're running, that's what matters. The speed will come (at least that's what I keep getting told! )

I just did it too, and feel the same as you! It's amazing isn't it? I'm on a complete high now and intend to stay that way all weekend!

That's brilliant - well done!

It's great having Laura telling you when to stop as you don't have the painful ordeal of clock watching - once when clock watching for a 10 minute run I thought time had actually stood still! :)
