Completed W5 R1 today, really pleased. Even more pleased that the terriers are still keen to come out when I have my running gear on I actually appreciated a bit of drizzle while out running this morning.
As I was downloading the next batch of podcasts this morning, I realised with horror that W5 R3 is REALLY long. I hope we can do it. Any advice, apart from leaving the terriers at home?!

Seriously....you can do it....check some of the blogs over the past few days of others who didn't thing they could do it (today, even)....and relax and have fun, you CAN do it!
of course you can do it! It's amazing how runs 1 and 2 get you prepared for 3 even though it seems so much longer. I told myself it was just r2 joined up and did it yesterday. I had to slow down for just the last two minutes so I was really pleased. You can do it too!
I was dreading W5R3 like most people - and when the time came, it really wasn't that bad. I even enjoyed it a little because the sense of triumph and relief at the end of it was fantastic. It was at that point that I really started trusting Laura and the plan - it really does seem to prepare you for the longer runs. Now in week 7 and haven't looked back. So hang in there and I hope you have a similar experience!
