Elated! Just run for 25 mins without stopping to finish week 6. Can hardly believe it. I couldn't do this as a youngster but can at 48. 

Always hard first 5 mins when I'm still cold. Next 15 amazing and could have gone forever. Last 5- woah. Had to dig in as found it hard. But hey ho, I did it and feel soooo proud. 5k is in sight.

Great stuff Scooby , Well done !

Yes you should be feeling very proud of yourself tonight . That is a major milestone in the programme , a proper turning point and you grabbed it by the scruff of the neck, twirled it around your head a few times and then threw it over your shoulder ! Epic !

Youre doing great, keep going !

Onwards, always xxx
