20 minutes success!

I've been a bit of a lurker on this forum but have found all the blogs and comments really encouraging. I did my week 5 run 3 a day early as I'm busy tomorrow. It was tiring, with my face burning red and my heart pumping hard but I did it!! Woo. Onto the next challenge on Thursday...it's all more do-able than you think at first. Can't wait to carry on and get to 30 minutes... I did about 4k today including the10 minutes of walking so I'm hoping I will get to 5k eventually!
