Well done you ! It does seem a huge leap from 8 to 20 doesnt it !

I always used to remind myself that people with a lot more knowledge than me worked the program out ....like you say, just trust in it and have faith.

O, good job Zee....that's such a big mental hurdle and you did wonderfully! It proves that our body can do it, we just have to "rassle" our minds into it! You must be soooo chuffed!

Good running, and continued success.....

Good for you! You make it sound so possible - I'm definitely getting a lot of inspiration and confidence from blogs like yours. My 20 minutes should be at the end of the week. Enjoy your rest now.
