Week 5 run 3 success!!!

[GRW67]

I did it! It took 3 attempts but I ran for 20 minutes. In fact, I did it quite comfortably and felt like I could have carried on. Those 'practices' must have helped. Bring on week 6!!

Practice makes perfect! Doesn't matter how long it takes if you get there - brilliantly done. You'll be all the more ready for week 6 and onward. May you have many more comfortable runs - those can be the best ones.

Well done you! It's a good feeling isn't it? Week 6 here we come.

DID IT DID IT DID IT!!!! Week 5 run 3 ...... reading the blogs saying best to go at a slower pace really helped. Set off going to do week 5 run 2 at 10 am this morning (for the fourth time!!) .... started the podcast and after a couple of mins as I was looking further down the road ... sun shining ... open road ... I thought I can do the dreaded one ... give it a go. Just do it. So changed to W5R3. Couldn't believe when she said 5 mins was up. Took it real steady. What I enjoyed was the continuity ... no stopping and starting. Really struggled with my breathing in the early weeks, puffing and panting .... just can't believe the improvement. Having lost over eight stone in weight ... now doing a bit of running ... life is wonderful!!! Enjoy all your runs today.

JH, you should write this in your own blog not hide it in here, at eight stone you'll become a guru to all those looking to lose weight.

Well done GR, that's the gateway run out of the way, onward and upward!
