Ok well just back from W5 R3 and yes it is possible to find yet another shade of red!! Mr P and joe both looked slightly shocked as I walked back in! But i did not stop!!!! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

Gotta be honest last 5 mins were tough and if I hadn't had my daughter, sister in law and niece shouting me on I may well have caved so massive thanks to them! And to all you lot on here you absolutely rock I would never have done it without you all!!

If this all goes to plan then graduation week for me will coincide with my "midlife crisis" skydive for charity on 23rd September, so two goals to aim for!! .

Onwards and upwards!! Well will be downwards quite fast lol!!

Omg! We did it. Lol. I thought about you as I was going through the hell.

We did it. Yaaaaay.

These posts are the best, I don't know anyone here who is not at the least apprehensive or downright scared at the W5R3 run and then afterwards, when it's been blitzed, their messages and posts are brilliant. Polly I told you neh neh ne neh neh.....:)

That grin is going to last at least a weekend, it keeps sneaking up on you...

I know I can't stop smiling!! So happy to have done it. Wk 6 here we come!

Seriously you got the sports bra on, that in itself is a test of agility, grit and ambidextrousness. Running is a breeze after that...

Yeah still had to get the bloody thing off!! I think I may need to do a little more research!!

in reply to Polly2810

I have created a bra spreadsheet and scoring system.... I may post it on here one day.. None of mine get more than about 60% of the available marks...

I really love my Aldi Crane sports bra, can't fault it, just wish I'd bought two (what was I thinking?!). Pity they don't do a regular supply of them!

Well done Polly! I bagged my W5 R3 yesterday- we did it! 😁

I know 4 weeks yesterday and I have reached my initial target for British heart foundation so am really excited!!! Only 50once she decided to celebrate i style...bought my mini convertible, had my eye liner tattooed on and the jump...oh and then I decided to try this running lark!! πŸƒ

in reply to Polly2810

That's an amazing list...., ooh tattooing eyeliner, weren't you afraid of the pain? I'm such a wimp when it comes to needles...Like Sleeping Beauty me, without the beauty bit!

Polly2810Graduate in reply to

No it did not hurt one bit...maybe a bit of mild discomfort and it hurt for a couple of days after both the initial and touch up appointment...but I am so pleased I had it done, never left the house without eyeliner and now I don't even think about it they always look perfect! Shame about the rest of the face but the eyes look good lol

in reply to Polly2810

So that's pefect eyeliner and a mini convertible - that is stylish 50!

Mini convertable mm. Methinks we could all do with a road trip. You can pick us up on the way although it'll take us a while to get to Ms JCR!

Ah yeah you would be fine...my son is 5 11 and I never tire of seeing him unfold himself out of it!! 🀣🀣

in reply to bareliz

5 5 , okay that's an inch taller and I'm shrinking.... not being heightist am happy to welcome you all, just 6 ft ladies make me feel inadequate. It's something about being general armpit height....
