Just back from w5r3 & I nailed it I'm pleased to say!

A bit reluctant but my husband kicked me out of bed & told me to go, I'm so pleased he did, I avoided the rain but instead it was dodge the muddy puddles, my pretty summer shoes are not suited to mud trails πŸ˜’πŸ˜’

Good luck to everybody on week 5, if I can do it you all can too πŸ‘πŸ‘

Brilliant stuff, we are in Week 6 together now. Shame about the shoes though - still the Β£1 per km running fund soon builds up and you can get the new ones. πŸ‘ŸπŸ‘ŸπŸ‘ŸπŸ‘ŸπŸ‘Ÿ spot the new emojis I found them behind the French keyboard setting!

I'm liking that thought of Β£1/km, might have to pursuade my husband to fund them too πŸ˜‚

in reply to Runningraspberrydiva

MrsT82 and I came up with a cunning plan. I read somewhere that one of our graduate runners gave themself an incentive of Β£1 a km run, towards sexy new running kit. MrsT then thought of getting her other half to stump up. He laughed and we took that as a yes! SO now we have the matched running fund idea. You put in a Β£1 and so does he for every km run. Sneakily we never defined the word 'run' so the way I see it, it definitely includes the walking part, because my maths skill isn't up to do substractionπŸ‘ŸπŸ‘›πŸ‘šπŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

I'm going to ply him with alcohol & sell him the plan later, I'll let you know how it goes 😜

Good stuff, see if you can get an upgrade £1 from your purse and £2 from his wallet, or am I being unnecessarily mean? 😈

I was going to wash those muddy marks away, but stopped myself & will wear them with pride from now on. Thank you 😊
