Week 5, run 3, in this heat?! Done and dusted ...

Like many others, I was very apprehensive about this run. It seemed like such a mountain compared to the other runs. Plus the thought of running in this heat and I didn't fancy my chances much. But I trusted Laura, the programme and all the other comments on here and went for it.

I was truly stunned when Laura said I was half way. I struggled for the last five minutes (my legs were starting to feel like lead) but I kept pushing ... I even did a little bit extra in order to get to my mental marker distance point (a bus stop that I know is a five minute walk away from my house!). I had such a huge grin on my face when I finished that anyone driving past must have wondered what I was listening to!

I can't believe that this programme has got me from nearly dying on my backside running for one minute to running for twenty without stopping. All together now "the way you make me feel there's just nothing I can do, the way make me feel it makes me go red ..."

Oh frockyhorror you couldn't have come at a better time, I've just blogged about my nerves anticipating this run on Friday - reading this makes me feel that bit braver thanks. Well done to you & yes the "it makes me go red" line has given me the giggles all this week.
