"I've just ran for 25 mins?".

"No way!"

"Crikey, I have, haven't I?"

I had the biggest smile on my face :-D

Thanks all.

I was dreading it. But, to be honest, I dread all the big runs.

Once I got into it, found my pace (or lack of ;-) ) I relaxed and I really enjoyed it. I just kept telling myself that I could do it, and kept thinking of my goal which is a slinky(ish) dress for my bro's wedding.

I'm absolutely buzzing now and am so looking forward to wednesday and week 7 :-)

Hehe, I know the feeling. It's a bit like you have to run again cos you don't believe that you have actually done it. Great stuff
