Week Six here I come!

[Rolyat_Adnama]

I did it, week 5 run 3 totally under my belt now and the best thing of all? I loved it, I found myself running along imagining myself just going on and on like Forrest Gump (but in fancier trainers) and the minutes flew past. I got to Laura's warning of '2 minutes left' and was surprised, it seems that my legs can just keep going by themselves now

I even did a bit of hurdling in the middle of the run as the gusting wind lifted a load of discarded floral displays from the side of the path and bowled them along at me like tumbleweed... who knew there were so many hazards to running in a cemetery?

So, I'm feeling very happy and can't wait for my next run... I've crossed that mental barrier so I can now say out loud "I'm going for a run" without adding, "well a joggy/walky sort of a run thing."

Happy days

I really am having fun thanks

Ha ha (said in an Alan Partridge kinda way) You have caught the bug! I can tell from your positive vibey post. Yep, who knew indeed! Cemeteries! Full of hazards but you can thumb your nose at such trifling, piffling florally waftings now you're a runner.

So, line up the next run and knock it down like a skittle. Eat my dust week 6!

Happy running Amanda!

Yup, totally got the bug, hubby says he's glad I've got something to channel all my bloody-mindedness into so maybe that's what's getting me through those last 60 seconds each time ... whatever it is I'm loving it

Brilliant Rolyat, that's great.

Just take week 6 steady as it can be rather sneaky, then you are practically home and dry!

[Rolyat_Adnama Graduate in reply to old_git]

Thanks for the advice, slow and steady wins the day!

Fantastic! Sounds like you did amazingly well there. I remember finding it quite a struggle. Well done. Especially incorporating a bit of hurdling in there too
