Finished Week 5 Run 3 DONE!
Finished Week 5 Run 3 DONE!
I had been somewhat apprehensive about this run, but it actually went great. I can't believe I ran 20 minutes straight without even dying I came home and bragged to my wife and she said, "Of course you did it. The program got you to this point, so of course you could" It was such a great feeling!

Just have faith in yourself! It's amazing but it's phyically completely doable....I think it's just our minds that make us fearful Give it a go and if you don't manage it tomorrow (i bet you do tho!) try again next time.
Good luck
Dawn

Thanks Dawn! I am going to believe in the power of positive thinking!

Sorry for the delayed response.. my newest son, Rhys, was born the day after I finished up this run. Talk about a high! I had been worried that his arrival would mess up my progress, but he was considerate enough to be born on my two rest daysroseanne12 wrote:I have to do this run tomorrow and I am really apprehensive about it!

It's true. You start to believe that anything is possible. Then you so things like go out and run 10k after work only 13 weeks on from barely being able to run for 1 minute (like I did tonight). This app has given me an entirely new life with no exaggeration.

Thanks for all the inspiration you guys! I find myself wanting to run everyday now...although I know that I should not! Tomorrow I start week 6 day 1 - hardly seems insurmountable after doing that 20 minute run yesterday!!
