Bye bye Wk5!

So put it off for couple of days but finally did WK5 R3 and to my surprise I did it, I know it's been said many times but how did I do that when a few weeks ago I found 5 minutes running hard?! Anyway feel about 20 feet tall and may float back to earth in the next hour or so ;)

How fantastic. Well done you!

Very inspiring as I've just finished w4 r3 so will be starting w5 in a couple of days and am wondering how r3 will be but after reading your post have realised that I should just have faith in Laura and it will be fine.

Good luck with future runs.

Thanks, I'm sure you'll be great, it really is a mental challenge. I was gasping at the end but that's understandable! I tend to zone, out focus on the music and 'have a word with myself,' if thoughts of 'I can't do this,' creep in! Good luck ;)
