Yeah week 2! For those keeping up, I was feeling brave and took a shot at W2, it was such a beautiful day I felt like I could do it, and I did!! I ran past a group of middle school girls at the bus stop and I heard one of them say "run, forrest, run!" As I passed :P

Well done. I'm also on week 2 and would have laughed if someone said that to me, especially as I'm so slow. 😂

I did chuckle, I probably looked pretty desperate, it was my last run of 1 1/2 minutes and I was fading fast.:D

Brilliant.... I think quite a few us have heard that said... :)

My husband...to me... " Run, Flossie, Run... !".

Very well done you! Onwards... and upwards! :)

Haha! My dad found it quite funny, he likes that movie :P

It wasn't as hard to jump to 1 1/2 of running as I thought it would be, so that's good!!

Well done Mk, get out there in the sunshine and go for it.. slowly and steadily....

I would take it as a compliment.😊 He runs fast in that film and Tom Hanks is lovely.

Haha yes I was running a bit faster than was good for me, I always push myself on the last segment of running. Otherwise they probably could have walked faster than I was running :D

Sounds much better than the looks I get when I'm out, I don't need anybody to pity my slow shuffle, at least I'm trying!

It's the strangest thing, I was teased in middle school so as a result I still get a little nervous around girls that age (strange, I know) so I was hoping they wouldn't say anything, but I found that pretty funny :P
