[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Well I was not quite as happy as I was on Sunday..but not sure if the chatter took my mind off the running. Will keep looking for happy place...still feel sooooo sloooow but honestly don't think I can go any faster just yet!

[Charlottefc87 Graduate in reply to Polly2810]

I've just put a post on actually as I've got a bit stuck in a rut, the legs can do it I just need to get my brain on board! Think it's probably a bout of the gremlins this week, need to make myself go out tomorrow! We will get there my dear!

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Charlottefc87]

Yes we will!! Tell the gremlins to sod off they are not welcome!!! Go for it!! Let me know how it goes. 👍🏻

[Charlottefc87 Graduate in reply to Polly2810]

Thank you, will do! The thought of Putting it in here does give me a kick up the bum!

[Irish-John Graduate]

I'm getting your chair ready for you at the graduate table as we speak

See you there before too long

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

A fair off yet...but one run at a time!! 😊

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Polly2810]

Onward and upward - slowly and steadily at your own pace

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

Oh it's that all right SLOW!! 🤣

[Hidden]

I'm only just at the end of week 1, so I think you've done really well. Have a well deserved cuppa Like you, I don't have anyone cheering me on apart from the community here, but from what I've experienced so far, that's such a great help and encouragement.

Oh - and I know what you mean about the hot and sweaty thing... just been in the shower myself after week 1 run 3!!

Keep it up, you're doing really well

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks...you Have made the biggest move doing week 1 sk keep with it, it really works you will be on wk 7 before you know it!!! And yes this lot on here are the best! I coils not have done it without them all. Everyone really cares how you are doing...keep posting!

[Hidden in reply to Polly2810]

Thank you, can't believe I made it through week 1 to be honest. Really can't believe I went running in the rain! Comfort zone? What comfort zone?!

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I really liked running in the rain on Sunday! ☔️☔️

[Hidden in reply to Polly2810]

Actually, it's not so bad, is it? It wasn't nearly as awful as I feared, but I was determined not to get discouraged this early on in the programme. I found I didn't need the coat, and that actually the rain was helping me to keep cool. Next time I'll bring shower gel with me, save time on having a shower when I get back

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

😂

[Martin_Rose Graduate]

Amazing Polly, very well done. There seems to be a lot of us around the same stage, lots of graduations in the next two weeks. 😁😁😁

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Martin_Rose]

Really hope so...they will need a big podium!!! well done you too keep going!!!

[icklegui Graduate]

[Bestcat Graduate]

Well done! You're nearly there!! The next 2 weeks were not much different from week 7 I found! So keep going you're a runner now! 🏃🏃🏃
