Well done Shep! You should be feeling very proud of yourself. What an achievement!

Thanks Nickynewey. Felt really elated, and proud, and getting encouragement from my son who does triathlons and marathons was good. You are from Australia? I guess you have some interesting places to run. This forum is so supportive, really helps to know others are going through the pain and challenge of the runs. Thanks!! 
Re: Week 5 run 3 - DONE!
I'm originally from England, have lived in Australia for nearly 4 years. I generally stick to the same area for my runs - Bar Beach near Newcastle NSW - mostly because it's relatively flat. Newcastle is a runner's paradise - lots of great routes along the foreshore and beaches, and lots of parks. There are also some really good hills which I aim to start tackling after I've graduated from Get Running!
Yesterday (W7R3) I saw a pod of dolphins about 20 metres out to sea!

Re: Week 5 run 3 - DONE!
Having completed Wk 5 much to my amazement, thought wk 6 would be a doddle! Finding it really hard.... maybe cause the weather has changed and its cold and very windy. Just completed run 2 and now find run 3 is 25 minutes long. Just don't think I am going to manage this. Can anyone help me in my struggles and encourage me that wk 6 run 3 is ok and manageable? Dreading it ...
