THOUGHTS OF A WK 5, R3er

[Buffy007]

Gosh, I didn't sleep well (worrying about this morning's run). Oh, my back's bad, can hardly bend. My knees sore. Minus 1, the roads will be so slippy.

Oh well, off I go ..... Flipping heck, this first 5 minutes seems to be going on forever. 2nd 5 mins - Oh no, I'm virtually going backwards and nearly walking (very slight incline). 3rd 5mins - crikey - I'm going to do this! Last 2 minutes 'you can slow down now' 'No way Laura - I'm going to speed up - this last 2 mins is easier than that first minute's run of week 1'

I DID IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to this forum - all the way round I was thinking of all my 'friends' and knowing I couldn't be the one not to succeed. Whey Hey!!! My goodness this programme is amazing isn't it. How can I possibly be running for 20 mins!!!!!!!!

Thanks a million everyone. Hope you all have good runs today. Love everybody lots!!!!!!!

Well done Buffy! That's the first really big run under your belt. No stopping you now.

[Buffy007 Graduate in reply to Ullyrunner]

I certainly feel as if I should be able to do it now, rather than just being terrified all the time!

[Toonlou24 Graduate]

Whoooop whoooooo!!!!! Yay!!!! Well done you!!!! You can do it now!!! Have confidence in yourself!! It is possible. Youve just proved it! X

[Hidden]

[Hidden]

There you go...you are more amazing than you thought ! Hope you can see now that this is all do-able. Happy running !

[Buffy007 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

[AngieS Graduate]

Brilliant. Well done! A great milestone in the programme.

[Hidden]

that is wonderful Buffy , you are right the program is amazing but it is you who actually did it it takes some doing to go out and run in some of the conditions we are having , you should be mighty proud of yourself

[Buffy007 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Ahhh thanks Rob - I've come over all funny with a tingle of pride. Thank you.

[Hidden]

Wahey Buffers ! See , we told you didnt we ?

YES YOU CAN DO THIS

Well done to you, this is a massive milestone to overcome and you nailed it ! Week 5 , job completed , big tick

20 minutes, its a great feeling to think that not that long ago we were just setting off on those first few steps of running for 1 minute , and now here you are , you are doing so well !

Week 6 next Buffy, Its a bit of a tricky one , but deep breaths, keep calm, slow and steady is the way.

Good Luck ! xxx
