Bye bye Week Five

Wowsers! I never thought I'd make it this far and I certainly never thought I be able to jog for 20 minutes relatively comfortably. Bring on week six!! Thank you to everyone who has commented this week. Your encouragement has been invaluable. Have a restful weekend everyone and get those running feet up! S x

Well done Samla! Great job! I've just finished week 4 and so hope in a week I may be where you are now - but hardly daring to hope - thanks for the inspiration!

Well done Samla - I've just finished run 3 of week 5 as well. What a great feeling! Good luck with week 6

Well done to you, a great achievement you must feel very proud of yourself. I have failed on this run but going to go again in the morning and have another attempt. You are spurring me on, keep up the good work!.

Well done Samla, I knew you'd do it.

Fittervic, you'll do it no probs! I very genuinely found week 4 harder than week 5 so you'll fly through it. x

Keep at it marpar, I just took it really steady and kept thinking about things (like shopping lists!) to keep my brain distracted from what the body was doing. Best of luck with it! x

fatmumslim, hurray we did it! Well done to you and thank you for your encouragement. It's nice to know someone who is at the same stage as me. x

Chewy- thank you for the faith!

Am on a complete high about it all. Thank you to you all, it's lovely to think of you all while I'm out and that none of us are doing this alone....even on the really cold wet mornings. xx
