Week 5, run 3 success after Race for Life fail 😃

[TreacleToes]

It's been suggested that I write a follow up post after my last one about my race for life. Yesterday I woke up & my chest felt clear so I thought I'd just do it. Exactly one month since I started the programme.

Back to my usual route of through the village & out onto the A120 - traffic fumes must suit me! I also brought Laura back after having my own music at the race for life.

It went brilliantly & I only stopped to open the park gate & turn round to head home. I actually went 21/22 minutes as I was on a downhill so I didn't want to stop until I reached the bottom.

Other changes to the race for life were running at 8am in the relative cool as apposed to 1pm boiling sun. I celebrated by going to sports direct & buying running socks & a mini bum bag (colleague had one at race for life & it looked very snazzy).

If I mention park run before I graduate you have my permission to virtually give me a dig in the ribs.

Week 6, run 1 tomorrow.

Well done. Nothing quite like giving those gremlins a kick in the teeth.

Well done...it is the law..every bad run shall be followed by a good run😀. You're right about the heat though - it makes a big difference.

Ah fab ! Well done Treacle Toes , Yeah !

The weather can make such a difference cant it ?

Fab stuff, you have completed Week 5 Run 3 and all's well ! Hey , why don't you do a Park Run for your Graduation Run ? I know a few people on here that have done that.

Onwards to Week 6, Go you ! xxx

Got to take the rough with the smooth! I did my first Parkrun on w6, wife just done her first one w8..😊

Glad to hear you're back on track TreacleToes , and that you've got more kit

[TreacleToes Graduate]

After the race for life, I've definitely decided not to do a park run until after graduation, however I do want to do them eventually. I have a few nearby to choose from which is good.

[90ldfinch Graduate in reply to TreacleToes]

That's my strategy too. C25K has been so good for me, I want to see it through without jumping the gun.

I know lots of people start ParkRuns "early", but I know I'd just start obsessing about stats, and trying to outrun people (as if...)

I really think the weather will have knocked it out of you at Race for Life.

Glad you had a good run this time xx

[Als_mum Graduate]

So glad you did it!!

There you go TT, we told you you'd do it. Congratulations and it is the perfect time to get yourself some new kit. Well done!

Did someone use the F word again 😉it is forever removed from our dictionary 😊

Well done on completing the run, it is a huge step along the way 😊

[Digger74 Graduate]

Glad you finished wk 5 on a high. I've just mentioned Parkrun on another thread, this is strictly after graduation!
