Well I've done it just completed W8R1, my husband & kids think I've lost the plot!! As I insisted they give me high 5s as I'm so elated that I've done it, that extra 3 mins didn't notice it, this is the best run I've done, after my first post saying the first 5 mins was hell & lots of you giving me encouragement & advice I slowed my pace right down & its definitely helped me, so happy ☺️☺️

Excellent. Nothing wrong with losing the plot every now and then!

Well done you!
Slowly slowly is the way to do it. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Well, it isn't really a marathon, thank goodness, but you know what I mean.
I'm a little bit ahead of you + like you found wk 8 not too bad (much better than wk 7.)
I have a sort of out of body experience where I think, Look, that's me, running. How on earth did that happen?!

Yes that's exactly how I felt
That's fab! Well done you

Wow ! I can almost see your happy face from here...Great going...slow is the way to go...high fives all round...

Ha ha! Works every time! So chuffed for you. You are quite sane, don't worry

It's great isn't it. This new discovery that we can actually RUN! Yay! If you keep running you'll amaze yourself still further.

Nearly there now Catz. That's a very positive post so we can look forward to the graduation.

Thanks yes I really think I've turned the corner now 😊

congratulations graduation is in sight. You can always High Five everyone on here
