I did it - I actually ran nonstop for 20 minutes!! Never would have believed it was possible for me. The first 5 minutes were tiring trying to breath properly and not to go too quickly but soon I felt I was ok and the time and distance flew by. Checked when I got home and I'd run 1.85 miles - this is someone who couldn't have run 50 yards to save her life a few weeks ago!!

Wow 1.85 miles is good, well done! hope it flies by for me, I should be doing it on Friday, scary stuff!
Good Luck for Friday! Think the fact that my run had a long gradual downhill for the first 5mins or so helped immensely with speed and distance!!!
Well done you! Must feel amazing. I have my third run of week 5 coming up at the end of this week; exciting.
