Juju Week 3 - Treat

[JaoJao]

This week my treat for completing Juju week 3 was slightly different. I went to a big fat Indian wedding at the weekend and I totally indulged in Indian wedding food as my treat. No holding back I went for it 😂

How did people get on with week 3 and their treats 😊

Oooh lucky you - I love most Indian food

Well done for getting through week 3! You deserved that food

[JaoJao Graduate10 in reply to backintime]

Thank you so much! I am addicted to the plan but running out of running routes long enough to reach 9k/10k I’ll have to repeat the playing fields!

How are you getting on with your running?

[backintime Graduate10 in reply to JaoJao]

Doing good thanks, yesterdays long run (12k) was a hard one because of tight calves but breathing was great - allergy season is over!!

[JaoJao Graduate10 in reply to backintime]

12k... incredible. I’m not sure I’ll want to extend over 10k but never say never hey. I’ve surprised myself so much already since starting this journey back in March.

Thank god allergy season is over yes, I think running in autumn/winter will bring its own beauty and learning along the way x

Hi JaoJao

I love the purple lighting at that Wedding, and it's great to hear you enjoyed some lovely food and celebrations there, that's a GREAT treat!

My treat was some Chocolate biscuit cake from a favourite café that I like - I had half a portion, as I shared it with my hubby, but had some Vanilla ice-cream alongside, and it was delicious!

I have put a photo in my collage, if you want to see it:

Wishing you a great week ahead, and I like the 'treat' aspect at the end of the week, something to look forward to, and consider...

I found Week 3 quite challenging, as I nearly bottled out, but I did do the runs, and I am glad I persevered - as I felt great at the end of the week.

Now, to Week 4 - I feel enthusiastic today... lol

Hey Zest, I love catching your updates and collages, so nice we are following the plan at the same time. It’s motivating isn’t it and cheering each other on.

I have a couple of challenges too, a) I’m running out of running routes long enough for 9k/10k.. so will have to repeat the fields and parks to make the runs that distance and

b) Planning runs at a decent time as the days get shorter. I leave home early to reach London for work and when I get home I’m super tired. But I am managing (for now!) and want to see this plan till the end.

I’m feeling enthusiastic too, we’ve come a long way to turn back now. I’m not sure what my treat will be at the end of this week... hmmm... xx

[Zest in reply to JaoJao]

Hi JaoJao you're right - we've come a long way now to turn back now - I'm going to hang onto that as a mantra - great words! Cheering each another along - great motivation! We can do this!

Zest xx

[JaoJao Graduate10 in reply to Kevtrev]

So envious you’ve done your run already! Monday’s is so tough, first day back at work and when I am most tired, but I force myself out to get that running buzz and feel smug afterwards that I did it.

[Kevtrev Graduate10 in reply to JaoJao]

Thank you so much JaoJao yes I totally agree with you as it’s harder because we have had a great weekend and once it’s done I feel fantastic it’s definitely addictive this running malarkey happy running JaoJao also I have graduated this morning I did run for 1hour and 2min full 10K 60mins I was at 9.69K so I just went for it 😉👍🤗😊😁😀 have a great week JaoJao I hope you are park running Saturday 😉👍🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️😁XX

The wedding looks fun, and sounds delicious! Glad you’re enjoying this running malarkey too! I managed to fit the 7k run in yesterday morning, loved it, even though it was getting a bit too hot as I didn’t get out as early as I should have 💤💤💤

I was planning to enjoy a glass of chilled Prosecco as a treat in the afternoon, but ended up spending it.... running around some more 🤣!!! In the playground with my wee one. Such a lovely day to be outdoors. Maybe that means I can have an extra Prosecco next weekend 😊

Hope you have a super Week 4!

[JaoJao Graduate10 in reply to Cosmo501]

Awwwww! It was a gorgeous day yesterday you’re right, apparently we’ll have another couple weeks of this yet!

[Cosmo501 in reply to JaoJao]

Ah, that sounds great! I hope so! Lovely running weather

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10]

I need that kind of reward for next weekend.
