I'll be with you tomorrow. Slightly frustrated as I had scheduled it for today, but not feeling 100%, so thought best leave it a day. No worries, the run will still be there tomorrow!

I know what you mean. I think (for some of us at least) that our bodies are getting tired at this point. You are doing really well and should be proud of yourself.

Speed is not important just getting one foot in front of the other is enough of a challenge for now... Well done πŸ˜€

well done you and yes this one is a bit of a toughy, I think it's after the exuberance of w5r3 we go out feeling a bit cocky and bang it catches us.

But it's onwards and upwards from here, just take it nice and steady and you've got a steady run to the finish line and before you know it you'll be on that podium

Thanks..Not believing yet...still feel I am just playing at this running lark, but guess I must be doing ok cos I am not having to stop and am completing each run as am told. But you lot are just so full of encouraging remarks it just pushes me on!! Don't want to let you all down 🀣

what's not to believe, you're doing fantastic and just in case you don't know it you are a runner

Keep going as you are and before you know it you'll be scrambling up on to that podium
