Juju Week 6 - It’s TREAT time!

[JaoJao]

I can’t believe it’s going to be week 7 next week and this week’s Juju plan has been incredible with the 9K long run giving me a massive confidence boost! I’ve got this! You’ve got this! We’ve all got this!

This weeks treat was a homemade spicy cheese and onion Bombay toastie with a warming cup of Assam tea (M&S range). Straight after parkrun this morning. Delightful!

How is your Juju plan going? What’s your treat?

[Olney Graduate10]

You are spot on about the confidence boost. It’s great, get fit and feel better about yourself. Your treat looks yummy 😋

[JaoJao Graduate10 in reply to Olney]

Thank you Olney, let’s keep on running and we can’t go wrong ❤️

Thank you. I’ve been snoozing the rest of the afternoon! Must be tired 😂

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to JaoJao]

Bliss! I dream of being able to curl up for a quick Katnap 🐱💤

Not long now JaoJao...you do the best treats 🤩

[JaoJao Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

Thank you Run46, that's really nice of you to say It is hard thinking up a new treat every week that I hope will inspire other Juju members to join in the fun. Just 2 weeks left on the Juju plan and I am a little emotional the journey is coming to an end, but I will consolidate the 10K, I know I will.

How is your running going?

Hi JaoJao

Your treat sounds and looks yummy! Because of a holiday (although I still ran a bit then) I am a week behind you. Every time I get to the longer run of the week, I think I will not be able to do it when I set off - but have managed so far (I just slow my running down if I start to struggle) and Monday will be my first 9k?!? My treat to myself is to finish the long run and go out for breakfast - just found a different cafe that does proper porridge with berries, nuts, cinnamon and maple syrup along with a really good cup of cappuccino - bliss!!!

[JaoJao Graduate10 in reply to Carowood]

Hey Carowood, don’t worry about being behind on juju, many people are at different stages but it’s still great to share the journey.

You will enjoy the 9K especially when you’ve completed, I’ve been smug all week!

Have a great run and your treat sounds delicious and wholesome! Xx

Nearly at the end of the plan 😮

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10]

Now that would have been very welcome after Lyme parkrun earlier, looks and sound delicious.

Great job with the running.

My treat tonight is pizza.

[JaoJao Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Hey UNM! Thank you but OMG Pizza! Yes! I might make that my treat next week 😁😁😁

Are you having a whole pizza to yourself, like 12 slices? Because that’s how it’s done right ❤️❤️❤️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to JaoJao]

I’m not that hungry so will cut it into 8... not sure I could manage 12 🤣

[Hidden]

Wow you’re doing so well and your enthusiasm is fantastic.

This weeks treat looks and sounds delicious.

I still have 4K to do today to finish my week off but my treat is scones which I baked yesterday. I also have to confess a couple may have already been consumed so I definitely have to get out there! 😋

Have a great week next week everyone!

[JaoJao Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Rainbow66. And who doesn’t love home baked scones, sounds like a perfect Sunday treat! But after your run 😉

Get out there and smash it up! These 4Ks are fast becoming a walk in the park! Xx

[Hidden in reply to JaoJao]

I had a very late night last night, in bed by 2.30 am which is why I didn’t go out early today! Just getting my head together now and will report in when mission is complete! 😀

[Hidden]

All done! 4, 5, 8 and a yoga class which included planks!

Ankle a little tender still but I will leave next week’s 8k until the weekend. I think my fitness levels are way behind yours JaoJao as I wouldn’t describe any of my runs as a walk in the park. They still feel as hard as the end of C25K infact I still use the app for my shorter runs and it still feels really hard.

I had different music today which was great. I came across the Runner’s World playlist for October so downloaded that to Spotify and found it really good. Happy running 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[JaoJao Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Sure, I’m not exactly speedy or anything I just do the runs as slow as I need. Due to the longer runs the shorter runs seem a lot shorter.

I find podcasts really useful as a good distraction during running xx

[Kevtrev Graduate10]

You have got this now JaoJao and the finish line is just in the distance your smashing it week after week 😉👍👏👏👏👏👏 and that toastie sounds delicious Xx happy running

[JaoJao Graduate10 in reply to Kevtrev]

Thank you Kev, just 2 more weeks and it will all be over!

[Kevtrev Graduate10 in reply to JaoJao]

You are very welcome JaoJao 2 weeks then consolidation runs 😉👍Xx
