Milestone! 💯 th run today...

[Dizzysmum17]

Hi VRBs. Didn’t even think about it during the run this morning but realised just now that today was my 100th run since starting couch to 5K in May. What a milestone!...and who would believe that I could get to this point when I struggled to even run for 1 minute back then. How things have changed! Next goal is to do RED January and I have a 10 mile race to do in Feb.

My run wasn’t long or particularly interesting today but being daylight it did mean that I could go out of town for a change - something I haven’t been able to do since the summer!

And I got some Bone conductor headphones for Christmas which I used for the first time today which seems like a good way to celebrate the day!

Here’s a pic of beautiful Dobby in her new Christmas collar on my 100th run - she has probably joined me for around 70 of them. And without the support of you lovely people I wouldn’t have made it this far - so thank you 😊

Well done Dizzysmum! 100 runs! 🎉🎉🎉

Oh wow, Dobbie looks adorable! ❤️ I take my dog on lots of my runs too. It’s lovely being with them isn’t it? 🐕🐕

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you. Yes she often comes with me and I feel safer if it’s early morning and dark but she is also good company and she loves it too! 🐾 🐕 x

Mine is being employed to drag me up the copious hills I’ll be attempting on New Years Day when I do our local parkrun double! 👍🐕🏃‍♀️❤️

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Haha - they are great for helping up hills aren’t they! I do find it much easier with her pulling! Although she’s not been as strong since she has been ill but I’m sure she’ll get there soon. 🐾 x

Wow what a milestone DM!! Awww Dobby ❤️🐾🐾

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to Flaraflarkin]

Thank you Flara - difficult to believe i would get this far when I first started. I know many of us feel the same! 🏃‍♀️ 😅 x

Great accomplishment Dizzysmumum17! Dobby looks very dapper 😍

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Thank you Allie - she does doesn’t she? I love the hound collars - they do some lovely designs. 🐕 😆 xx

[MatildasPb Graduate10]

Wow, you really packed them in. I started about the same time as you but I’m only up to about the same as the dapper

looking Dobby.

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to MatildasPb]

I try to do about 3 runs a week Bob - although I tailed off when I was on my summer holiday - but it’s hard to believe I’ve managed that many! And I will be waiting to congratulate you when you get there too! 😊 x

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

Thank you so much Brian. She is beautiful isn’t she! 😊x

[Equi-geek Graduate10]

Well done! It’s been a difficult year and this is a triumph!!! I haven’t yet worked out whether I’m at 100 or over it but now I’m on Strava it’ll be a lot easier to keep track next year! Hugs to you and the dogs 🤗

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to Equi-geek]

Thanks Equi. It has been a difficult year but also lots of positives. Not least starting to run! And I’ve started to look at horses too. Need a new one! Exciting times. Follow me on Strava - Louise Flower - if you like. X

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Fantastic milestone. Yes isn't it great when you think how difficult the first 60 seconds seemed! Well done!👍

[sunshinefish Graduate10]

That's great! Well done you! I am like you and loving the fact that we are on holiday and can mix up our runs a bit.
