Being excited about it is definitely better than being scared about it. You'll also handle it much better being in a positive state of mind and you'll enjoy the challenge much more too.

Good for you! Being excited is defiantly a positive and will help you along on the run. Best of luck, you can do it :D

oh gosh, I'm doing w5r2 tonight and have r3 in the diary for Friday and it's safe to say I'm bricking it! Wish i had your excitement about it! Though on the other hand I am very curious to know if I can do it! On tonight's run I will be testing the route I plan to do for the third run so maybe after that, I'll feel more excited! Good luck for tomorrow and let us know how it goes!

Not at all - or I am weird too! Once I'd got past W5R2, which really scared me, that boosted my confidence for R3, and I think because of that state of mind, I really enjoyed it (hard though it definitely still was!!). Pace yourself, and enjoy it, don't focus too much on the time, just on the road - Good luck, see you on the other side for Week 6!

I am into week 6 now and can honestly say to all of you: YOU CAN DO IT! I went from not being able to run 1 minute to running 20 solid! :-) Keep a slow steady pace, drink fluids that day and remember, even if your mind says no...physically, your body is ready...weeks 1 through 4 prepared you for this run! In the words of Laura: OFF YOU GO! :-) Looking forward to updates!
