“Listen up legs......

[SeeJillRun]

“We’re taking it slow n steady this morning, ok? It’s 20 degrees n we’re running for 39 minutes so no need for your usual ‘must go fast’ antics! Slow and steady is what we’re doing, n if you behave I’ll let you loose on the final 5. Deal?”

That’s how my run started this morning n my legs actually listened! 1.89 miles in 39 minutes, slow as can be and Week 2 is done! But hey, my pace was still a good 2 minutes faster than when I started all this in January n I know I’m getting faster as the weeks go by. Actually starting to feel like I might get to 5k by the end of Ju-Ju’s fabulous magic plan! 😃

It really does make such a difference, slow and steady will get you there!

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to Julia187]

It sure does! Unfortunately my legs don’t always comply, hence today’s talking to 😂😂

[Julia187 Graduate10 in reply to SeeJillRun]

Glad they were listening 😂

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to Julia187]

Me too! 😂😂

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

You gave your legs a good talking too and it worked well done 😊😊😂

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

Cheers! I’m amazed they listened tbh 😂😂

I love this dialogue with your legs. Maybe they should also be posting on here to give their side of the story.

Sadly their typing skills aren’t up to much 😂😂😂

[backintime Graduate10]

Well done. Legs behaving is always a good thing when running : )

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to backintime]

I think I may adopt it as a regular tactic, there are some days when they just run away with me, like it or not! 😂

[RunRunRun13 Graduate10]

Well done Jill and in the heat too....getting fitter and stronger !

I did my last (very sweaty) run of Week 2 this morning too...onwards and upwards to Week 3👍

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to RunRunRun13]

Cheers! This time last year I would’ve got heat headache from walking that distance in this heat so I’m well happy 😃

Well done to you too getting it done in this weather 👏👏 See you in Week 3!

[RunRunRun13 Graduate10 in reply to SeeJillRun]

Yes me too with headaches in the heat, I struggled walking in it let alone running. My hands used to puff up like a goalkeepers and look like I was allergic to something 🤣 (and only very slightly now)

Week 3 here we come 👊

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to RunRunRun13]

Yikes! That sounds unpleasant 😩 I’d get the headache n it’d just keep getting worse, no tablets would touch it n I’d sometimes end up with migraine. It’s brilliant how things we never anticipated are improving as we get fitter 😃

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Good for you. Those legs clearly listened 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to Irishprincess]

For a change! 😂😂
