It’s 6 months today since I started on the Couch to 5k programme. In that time I’ve fallen completely in love with running and run 3 times a week with added strength work. I’ve not yet hit 5k but since starting Ju-Ju’s magic running plan I’m expecting to hit it in the next 2-3 weeks

You may wonder how I’m celebrating this joyous occasion. Well I’m currently sitting at home in front of the fan cursing the heat that’s preventing me from getting out there more than once this week. There’s a word for this, it’s rangry, defined as how you feel when you’re unable to run due to injury or other things (like stupid heat!) preventing you from going for a run when you want to. So here I am, with my fan, celebrating my 6 months of running by being rangry 😤😩😭😂

Congratulations well done! Who'd have thought it was possible to love running - but I do now too. Our dog has prime position in front of the fan while we're left to melt. Bring on the cooler weather!

Cheers! I can’t say as I blame the dog lol. Can’t wait for cooler rainy Saturday so I can get out again

Happy 6 month runiversary and love your new word, rangry! I have been on the Injury Couch with a dodgy hip, definitely been feeling quite rangry and a bit "runhappy"!!!! I am walking much better now so hoping to get to Parkrun tomorrow...
