Hi there, I'm new to the site but I can see from what I've read that it's the place to come for good advice and encouragement!

I'm on the last run of week 4 tonight am finding it okay but I'm dreading going to week 5 - the last run looks sooooooooooooo scary - 20 minutes?!

Thank you all for your kind words - I did it!!! And,although it was very hard workd (especially in this heat) I really did enjoy it!

I was so emotional at the end of it, I sobbed my heart out at the side of the road - I did attract some rather funny looks - but I was so proud of myself! :-)
