W5R3... nearly chickened out...

[rube1uk]

I very nearly didn't attempt W5R3 and was very tempted to re-do R2 but I had a word with myself and thought 'no, the programmes's worked so far...'

I'm not going to lie and say it was easy but it definitely wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be (reading everyone's blogs helped). I was glad to hear that I'd done 10 mins and was 'half way there' but boy did that second half feel like a long 10 mins!! My legs felt heavy and I had a couple of moments of self-doubt that I could do it but I carried on and did it!! Yay me!!

Got a busy weekend so really chuffed I didn't chicken out and am looking forward to attacking W6R1 on Monday.

For all those people worrying about W5R3, it really can be done, go for it!!

Congratulations on completing that milestone run! It is a victory, both physical AND mental!

Continued running success to you....

Well done! It is really an achievement to do that - good luck for the rest of the programme, you can do it!

I agree, it's great to get this one over and funny to think of wk 6 as something to look forward to! I did too!

Congrats!

I'm coming up to that run and am a bit nervous about it, but I just keep telling myself that I've been able to do everything so far!
