I did it, I did it - I ran for 20 minutes! How is this possible?! I cant believe I did it, but to be honest there was no way I was going to let it beat me today. I woke up so early (I think I was a bit nervous about it) and set off and on the way all I could say to myself was, I'm so going to do this, oh god its such a long way, i am so going to do this! And I did it, like a little snail mind. I gave myself a little clap after 15 minutes and 18 minutes and at the end there was just enough energy left for a little jump and a whoop and then I got a bit teary but good teary! And thats that. Just had to share because I could not have got as far as this without all you lovely people and your support, and of course a big hug for Laura! x
Whoop whoop W5 R3 not enough room here for all... - Couch to 5K

Congratulations, that's fantastic! Before you start it seems really daunting (I did it last week), so it is really an achievement. Enjoy the feeling for a while ... then roll on Week 6!

well done, i'm just back from wk6 r3 the 25 minutes and it doesn't seem such a jump, got through it relatively stress free, fingers crossed this continues
Well done, its a great feeling to get hat run done.

I still tear up every time I think about completing that 20 minutes...such a feeling of elation and accomplishment!
Good going Barney...you are well on your way now!
Keep up the good work...!

whoooooppppppp! well done you I love reading everyone's w5r3 blog as it's such a monumental milestone. bet you are smiling for the next few days
Yay, well done...clapping is a good strategy!

Well done! Thank goodness someone else is teary - I was almost sobbling after my 8 minute run. I should take a box of hankies with me for the 20 minutes!!
Aww well done!! You are a champion and you have done the hardest part - you have proven to yourself that you can do it and do more than you thought. Good luck with week 6
Congratulations, it is a big one.
Thanks Elizadolots, I am still smiling!
