Seriously, thanks folks. I am back, red faced as ever but chuffed. The run went ok. Felt that joyful surge in the first two mins of running. Then it got hard. After ten mins I felt like I had settled into a rhythm. That lasted about four mins. By the time, I got to the really hard bit at 20 mins, tho the Jacksons were singing "Can You Feel It?" Which made me smile as it brought back memories of doing the Jane Fonda workout tape years ago when I was teaching English in Singapore (and Ibdo mean. Tape. That's how long ago. Anyway, the run finished and ai walked home to Franki GTH telling me to "Relax". So now ism. With more tea. Here's to Week 9. Take care!

I did have a chuckle to myself reading your earlier post; I was thing Crikey I hope now she's not posting it means she has taken up the orders she was given; otherwise she's in big trouble!! X

Thanks, Slinky! I do know when I have been bested. Just as well! And, needless to say, they were all correct and now I am looking forward to week nine. And I never thought I would be writing that!

Good lass! Have a rest tomorrow and get ready to go again π

Ahh at last I've found someone who actually listens and follows instructions. This never happens at home, virtually bullying obviously works!!

I know that feeling. Glad to have been on the end of it. Cheers!

Ha ha, they're brilliant, aren't they? No slacking when they're around. I remember the rollicking I got from misswobble in week 8 for going too fast, felt about 12 years old. But she was right!

Well done suebguinea-pig. Bet you feel fab now you have been out. Why put off til tomorrow what you can do today. Every run is one step closer to graduation x

You are so right, and I knew it. And yet..... Still, having some bossy mates on this forum is truly a blessing! Can't believe am three runs away from Graduation. Ahhhh!

Had to check out the previous post. Ooh I know what I need to do now when I need some motivation! Well done!

Thanks. Yes, just get the gang after you!

Ha ha they know what they're talking about alright.
