..and yet again I feel that nervous sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, it always scares me at the start of a new week that maybe it has just been a fluke and there is no way I will be able to get through the week despite what Laura says ...
...and then that other little thought says ... go girl you can do it, just get out there and try... that's all you have to do ...
.. so lets see how it goes tonight :/

I think you know within yourself that the second thought will win, i can tell To get to week 9 you have done fantastically well and clearly have the fitness to do it.
Just imagine how great you'll feel once you've completed it.
Thanks .. not sure about the fitness but yes I have made it around the 28 minute runs ... though it's not been a pretty sight ! ... I know it is in the mind ... just need the mind on my side tonight :/
You can definitely do this! The 30 minutes is a big mental step - after all it's been the ltimate goal throughout the programme. But in percentage terms you're so very very nearly there already.
As minihaiser says, if you've got this far, and weeks 5 and 6 didn't kill you then this certainly won't! Just ake it steady, don't get carried away, and enjoy it!
thanks Stefliser ... you are right ... I was the same in week 5 and 6 scared of what was to come but I did get through it ... I can and will get through tonight ... and then I will improve on it and make it better for the rest of the week:0
thanks for the support ... it really is what get me through this
I remember being petrified when I had to do the 3 minute runs... I just need to get to the other side of doing a 30 minute run ... then I will believe I can do it ... still on that what if I fail now ... but I know I won't.
You won't 'fail'. Trust Laura on that one, even if you can't trust yoursef!
But even if you don't quite make the full 30 minutes, here's a thought - a few short weeks ago, you were terrified at the thought of running for 3 minutes (I remember that feeling too!!). At that point you'd have laughed out loud at the idea that 'only' managing 28 minutes, and not quite making the full 30 would be seen as a 'failure'.
Get out there and enjoy the run, and the MASSIVE feeling of achievement when you get there.
