Finally managed to reach 5k this morning 27 runs after finishing the C25K. Set run app for distance rather than time and found a new route which ended at a cafe in the park and a loo which was perfect!!! Sat for ages with my coffee and the biggest smile on my face. So delighted to finally reach this goal ☺️πŸ₯΅πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

So is it a temporary colour from the supermarket? I ask because I have pure white hair and I'm not sure I'm brave enough.

I learned to love my grey hair. It's taken me 60 years to be this trendy. I have people asking me where I got it done!

Hi its from a company called Directions - little pots of what look like paint in vibrant colours. Semi permanent so will fade over a couple of weeks but still leaves colour. I change it often and at times just go for all grey although that was easier during lockdown as I didn't put any colour on it for months. I think if you are unsure get some colour and put a tiny little bit on the ends and see if you like it. I have been colouring my hair for so long people now wonder if I am okay when its 'ordinary' . I'm 57 so its never too late !!!

Yes a good date to remember, lots more to come, our first was so exciting but now 5k is my usual distance with the odd longer one here and there

Oh well done! You must be delighted. My next run is consolidation 5 so this post will comfort and inspire me as I creep oh so slowly to 5k.

Eveb1 profile image
Eveb1β€’ in reply toYellowshade

I think the slow creeping is key!!( in a non creepy way !!!!)

I took the pressure off myself by just continuing with consolidation runs and very loosely following the 10k plan with longer each week . You will get there for sure.

Brilliant! Achieving your first 5k is an amazing feeling. What a wonderful photo - I am sure you’ve been smiling all day πŸ˜ƒβ­οΈ.
