Week 8 - tick :0)

[runningknitter]

Well after not such a good run on Tuesday, week 8 has ended on a high. Two of my Kms were sub 7 mins and I felt really good tonight. I am looking forward to graduating and building on what the programme has given me. I am amazed every time I go out and run. I feel healthier, trimmer, my heart rate is slower. This has been an incredible couple of months. I really hope that I have got myself into the routine of running at least 3 times a week. Look out week 9, I am coming to get you!!!

[Belindauk Graduate]

Well done..... Now let's kick butt to the finish line ready steady gooooooooo

[BluebellRunner Graduate]

Congratulations runningknitter, your in the home stretch with only 3 more runs left. You can do it!

[runningknitter Graduate in reply to BluebellRunner]

Thank you.....I can taste that graduation medal lol x!

[Hidden]

Very well done runningknitter! Not far to go now. And to end the week feelings so positive too, I'm so pleased for you. Enjoy your last week on the programme. Not long to you get that badge now. I'm two runs behind you!

[runningknitter Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you. Enjoy your week 8, this was quite a challenging week for me, but showed me what I am capable of x

[useitorloseit Graduate]

Goodness that's fast! Have you been on the Red Bull??!!

[runningknitter Graduate in reply to useitorloseit]

God I hate red bull, I think it tastes like cough medicine. I really don't understand the pleasure taken in jaeger bombs with it. So , no, lol, no red bull for me. Something has sped me up though, probably me wanting to hit that elusive 5 k x

[useitorloseit Graduate in reply to runningknitter]

Ghastly stuff - I only tried it once and it did nothing for me! Perhaps your trainers are sprouting wings?

[Jenson Graduate]

Don't it feel good!!! Well done, I've no doubt you will complete the programme and become a regular healthy runner.

[runningknitter Graduate in reply to Jenson]

Thank you. It certainly does :0)

Me too :0)

[Mobo40runner Graduate]

Brilliant stuff. Good for you. It's an amazing feeling when you graduate! Well done

[runningknitter Graduate in reply to Mobo40runner]

I am so looking forward to it. I really didn't think I would make it, but I am certain now I will :0)

[Amisnan Graduate in reply to runningknitter]

I remember exactly that feeling. Suddenly there is a shift isn't there, from thinking you are never going to make it, to realising that you can.

I am so happy for you and totally convinced that you will succeed xx

[runningknitter Graduate in reply to Amisnan]

Definitely - I have proved to myself I can do it :0)
