Did it did it did it :-) I can't believe it. Laura was so right as usual - today was more of a mental challenge than physical - that's not to say I am not aching!! What a fab start to the weekend! Thanks for all the encouragement I have got from reading all of your blogs and comments. Happy running !!

Well done! Its good to know your run went well. I'm just finishing week 4 so will be doing W5R3 next week....I get in a bit of a panic when I think about running for 20 minutes none stop. I invested in a decent pair of ASICS running trainers yesterday so hopefully that will help as my old rubbishy trainers were making my feet hurt :)

Yep I was going to say the same, you have turned the corner, all down hill now, well not really but we would like to think so. Well done, I think a lot of people find this the mental hurdle.
