    Oh my god WELL DONE!
    That's a great time!
    I have 13 days until mine, eeeep!
    I am hoping for 35minute time, but then I am ridiculously unfit

    I'm still not fit, but last year I was too unfit to run for more than a minute without back pain or getting out of puff!

    Excellent stuff. I confess that I haven't done it. Did day one and decided running still isn't for me!

    Thanks for all the lovely comments peeps - not sure what's next, would quite like to try bridge to 10K BUT now the days are getting shorter it will be tricky to fit in a longer run every other day...definitely want to keep running though!

    I've found myself a running buddy! Back to school this morning and one of the other mums saw me out running the other day and suggested we run together.

    Ha, me neither. I'm on week 7 and determined to finish it but I'd much rather be out on my bike or in the gym rowing.
