I did it and was so excited when Laura sad I was officially a runner.

Did my usual faffing around before I actually got out there. First few minutes were hard and legs a bit sore by about 5 but they didnt get any worse. Got hot and had my fan on full, by 20 minutes I was tired but I was not stopping, at 2 to go Mrs Invincable appeared again and at 1 to go Laura said put the speed up and I DID and ran my fastest minute to date.

I cant believe how much I have acomplished in the last 6 weeks. I nearly gave up at week 3 as did twice before because I thought that was how much my body could do but how wrong was I.

I've just done this run a couple of hours ago, I've got tired legs & found it much harder than W5 R3 but I feel good that I've just completed week six & I'm sure it will get easier.
