I feel like a VICTOR and its only Week 4! Pink Neon Alert!!

[Sofargoner]

I'm so excited. That I just can't hide it.

I'm about to lose control and I think I like it ....sorry, that's enough.

Tonight was my sixth W4 run (having had two 'practice runs) and the 4th I've been able to do. So much to celebrate:-

* I went to a NEW park that has REAL runners in it - its a parkrun park and real runners smiled/nodded at me.

* I saw someone run as slow as me

* It was 22 degrees and drizzly and I still managed it

* I ran up and down little tiny hills rather than choose the flattest route.

* I went out at 7pm when I was still to cook dinner. I had my shoes on then took them off and said 'oh I just don't have time' and my daughter and husband cajoled me to just go out - and I did! I didn't get busy Doing Something Else, I Went Out!

* I could have gone on for another minute, for the second time this week (I think) whereas if you read back my posts I felt Week 4 had got the better of me. I was never going to give up but I felt despondent. I felt gremlins were going to eat me for dinner (which would have taken them a while)

I can remember feeling that I would expire in the second five minute run and now I don't! I wouldn't say it was easy, but it was easier.

This. Programme. Works.

I am trying to upload the pink neon sweatbands picture (@McFitty, I never said lycra....loved how it changed from innocent towelling to the Fabric from Hell in your las comment to me - lol!!) But it's not loading......not sure why....it's a JPG.....oh well!!

PS what the heck has happened to that photo. Yes folks, I can stand at a 90 degree angle to maintain my privacy. You get the idea....that's the neon pink and no, I didn't go out in public in it.....shall keep that for my first 5K lol

Okay already, it's towelling 😂

So well done Sofargoner ! You blitzed that week 4. Victory is yours! Now you can take that strength and ability on to each week and KNOW that you can beat it. Awesome determination. Look out week 5 she's coming for you...
