i have just finished w5r3!!! I have had such a change in attitude! After being told yesterday that maybe running wasn't for me, the 'me' of a few weeks ago would have given up and hit the wine, chocolate and sofa!!! I did have wine ( just a glass) and a takeaway ( just a starter) and picked up a big bar of chocolate in the shop ( but put it back!). The overwhelming support from this forum and my stubbornness ( my mother always said I had a stubborn streak - I never believed her😉) made me more determined- I've got up, got out and bloody well done it!!!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment yesterday - your advice and positivity made me do this - I will be wearing a smile as bright as my gold stars all day 😊

Massive love, hugs and respect to you all 😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😔

Oh that run is fabulous (afterwards!! ) - massive congrats - good for you for ignoring the "running's not for you" comment and got up and out again and really smashed it!! Wear that smile with pride 😀

I really am! I honestly don't think I have ever felt as good as I did today! And you're right - the afterwards is amazing 😊

Having read your posts yesterday and the advice given well done on getting out there and carrying on you have my respect and admiration you deserve to get to week 9 and graduate

[Jingle_berry in reply to MichaelH070862]

Thank you so much! I was more determined today than I have been in a long time! Your post has brought a lump to my throat and coincidentally, something also flew into my eye 😉

[MichaelH070862 Graduate in reply to Jingle_berry]

Wait till you nearly swallow something while out running and good for you you can do this

[OldPossum]

That's is absolutely brilliant. 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉. I love proving idiots wrong so well done you. 😀

[Jingle_berry in reply to OldPossum]

A bit of fire in the belly is never a bad thing! Maybe my nurse wasn't a saboteur at all, but actually my saviour! She knew which buttons to press, employed a bit of reverse psychology - I am playing the 'glad game.' 😊

[rammsteinqueen Graduate]

Yeah!!!!

[McFitty Graduate]

What a star! There's nothing like proving people wrong! That stubborn streak is going to take you all the way to graduation. Good luck with week 6. Just you keep on shining.

I am looking forward to w6, but due to a weekend away with lovely friends, it will be starting on Monday . Have a great weekend 😊

[OldWheezer]

That's brilliant and all the effort to get to that run makes that one really special. Stubbornness is a good thing, without it you don't realise how strong you are.

All the best with week 6 and beyond.

[Jingle_berry in reply to OldWheezer]

I would love the world to be pink, fluffy and sparkly, but sometimes it isn't! However, whilst a bit deflated initially, I've embraced the negativity and have managed to overcome it ( for now at least!!!) W6 starts on Monday 😊

Bloomin' marvellous!!

[Jingle_berry in reply to ancientrunner]

I am pleased as punch - I am so often tempted to take the easy route, so toughening up and just getting on with it has been a huge step forward for me! Thank you for your support x

[poppypug Graduate]

Absolutely fantastic !

Well done you ! You have such a positive attitude and are so determined .

Great post ! xxx

[Jingle_berry in reply to poppypug]

I am generally a positive person, but also a little insecure, so if I'm told I can't or shouldn't, I'll usually conform. Something in my head has just shifted a little bit and I really quite like it 😊

[b275 Graduate]

Well done - you show that nurse how wrong she is!!

[Titchy21]

Well done 😊😊 that is fantastic!
