20 MINUTES !!!

After a 24 hour delay due to the rain last night, I've just returned from completing Week 5 run 3 - the TWENTY MINUTE one !

I can safely say I've never ever run for a continuous TWENTY MINUTES before. Just slightly surprised that having returned in time for the BBC news that I didn't get a mention in the headlines ;-)

I even managed a bit of a sprint for the last 20 seconds.

If you haven't got this far yet, then please believe me - if I can manage it then you can too !

Thanks Wybrook. I'm currently in the process of convincing myself I can take it on in three runs time, this has helped.

Oh and I love the line about the news headlines.

Well Done Wybrook - you sounded like you enjoyed it! I did the next run today - W6R1 - I found it OK but found myself looking back fondly at the 20 minuter!!

When I started this four weeks ago, I had no idea how satisfying it would be to read the blogs, as well as to do the running. It's all brilliant!

Week 5, here I come!
