actually cant believe i ran for 20 mins today, when laura stopped the music i thought she was gonna say u only got 1 min left but she says u only got 5 mins to do i wanted to kill her but i battled on and finished it, still strugglin to get enough breath sometimes but am hopin that will get easier, i actually feel like all the hard work has paid off today, never thought 5 wks ago i'd be running 20mins, so everyone out there who are maybe strugglin a bit stick with it because this plan really does work....wooo hoo :)

Go you! Doesn't those last few minutes go sooo slow? When she says you've done 4 now only 60 seconds left, you think... yes! almost done and you run and run and run lol

But anyways, Well done! My 20 min is up in 4 days! eeeeeeeep :D

Ha ha, this made me laugh. Much as I love Laura's encouragements on the whole, as the runs get longer sometimes I want to say out loud 'oh COME ON!' at the halfway point announcement.

Ohh I scream slightly naughty things at Laura... though not as naughty as I scream at TomToms Jane!!
