moves like Jagger........

[wideeyedandleglass]

well the weather outside was frightful

and my bed seemed so delightful

but knowing it would be fun ( not)

I said run , I must run , I must run.

when I finally stepped outside,

how I hate going out in the rain (not)

Laura said you must now be brave

cos wk 5 day on3 is a pain

So I went with some trepidation

I was tuned to a radio station ( not)

and I pounded across the drome

20 minutes then I could be home

plus my 5 minute walk down !!!!

So I did it !!! yes I did it

and thanks to everyone's advice ( I really did imagine I was dancing in a straight line - thanks for that one)

it was fine !!my knee aches a bit but hopefully that will settle down.

I hope sloughmotion and the other person that messaged me managed to do it too.

For the first time I dusted down my I pod and listened to music whilst running 40 licks rolling stones. what a revelation it really helped the pace. Im not sure about the 19th nervous breakdown track as I entered the final 5 minutes up a slight incline - guess it was kind of appropriate.

walked home to sympathy with the devil - big whoo whoo

Wow, week 5, day 3 - a real achievement and well done, you overcame all the negative thoughts and used your music to your advantage! Have a good old rest now, week 6 awaits! I've just done week 6 run 2 - 2 x 10 minutes, not too bad, just nice and steady! On Friday, I have 25 minutes but if we can do week 5,day 3, we can do that too.

The legs are bound to ache a little but sure a little rest will sort them out!

Julie 😀 - go you!!

Love the lyrics! You do realise I will now have a Christmas song in my head all day?! haha

Well done on completing w5 r3. It's a good feeling that one!

[wideeyedandleglass]

I know Ill try to think of something less Christmassy for week 6 !!!

[Rignold]

Well done on achieving W5R3. That must have brought you a great deal of Satisfaction.

Watch out for W6R1 - it almost always catches people out despite being theoretically easier than W5R3.

On a slight tangent, I never quite understood that 'Moves like Jagger' song, which my children all sing whenever it is on the radio, in a variety of unrelated keys. I do, indeed somtimes have moves like Jagger - usually the morning after a very long run when my muscles do not allow more than creaky geriatric stumbling, but I can't see it something to brag about.

[wideeyedandleglass]

That track was on too.... !!! might do a bit of queen for week 6 or move forward a few eons ..all I could think of was running is dancing in a straight line !!! It helped !!

[Anaverageman Graduate]

very well done.. you.. little red rooster you...

[wideeyedandleglass in reply to Anaverageman]

I'm just a "sole" who's intentions are good....

[Anaverageman Graduate in reply to wideeyedandleglass]

please.. dont let me be misunderstood...

When will those clouds all disappear?

But Angie, Angie...

Ain't it good to be alive.. ?

[poppypug Graduate in reply to Anaverageman]

I see a beige pug and I want to paint it black

Well done ! xxx

[wideeyedandleglass in reply to poppypug]

love it x

[wideeyedandleglass in reply to Anaverageman]

yes.. it felt that way yesterday and I didn't even have to reach for any mothers little helper!!!

tomorrow week 6 run 1...... just start me up....

[gary_bart]

Well done. Now you already know the rest of this is possible. All you need to do is keep finding ways of moving forward (and of staying active where you don't - not that that looks like it's going to be a problem from now on).

[wideeyedandleglass]

Thank you and yep....I'm thinking its all possible now. I don't think I would have found it half as easy without the advice and conviction vibes from fellow C25K-ers. Really helped as so much of it is in the mind.

Didn't even go for the downhill finish and must admit felt I could have done even a bit more but thought quit whilst you're ahead.
