[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Tricky2836]

[tfcmagpie Graduate]

We don't care either so long as you get to where you are going!

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to tfcmagpie]

As long as you have a rest day... just take your choice

Speed is unimportant unless you're running away from a lion....

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Hidden]

...or one of my ex's. 🚶🏃

😂

[flos-mum]

Slow and Steady wins the race

[rolysmate Graduate]

Nothing wrong with slow and steady, it gets us there in the end

[Vixen67 Graduate]

Slow isn't that bad is it 🐶🏃🏼‍♀️... your doing great 👍

[GoogleMe Graduate]

You're strengthening your bones, you're raising your heart rate (I find it weird how an 'easy' run does that so much better than a brisk and unpleasant feeling walk) and you're having fun. Job done.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

A girl after my own heart

[Sillyyak13 Graduate]

Me too. Lol.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate]

That's me and I'm proud that after four years I'm still out there running and loving it because that is what it is all about 😀.

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Yep I'm proud of myself! Really hope I will still be running 4 years down the line.

[Jododds in reply to Realfoodieclub]

YAYYYYY!! That is so lovely to hear. I so agree that loving it is what it is all about. Finding any activity we love is fabulous. If we had all loved sport at school we might not be doing this now. Wouldn't it be great if school sports was made this much fun?

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Jododds]

School sports left me with a life long feeling of not being good enough...always picked last not wanted on the team...maybe that's why am loving this...it is just for me!!

[Curlygurly2 Graduate]

It's me too! I did speed up a bit a couple of years ago, but now I've slowed down again. Do I care? Nah...I still love what I do, and you get to look at the scenery properly at a slower pace! I always said I wouldn't want to use up all the fun at once!

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Curlygurly2]

Exactly...I will leave the speed to the competitive ones, I fm totally not bothered, the views on my runs are beautiful so why waste them?!

[LUVLEEJU Graduate]

I will never be fast have run now for 4 years and think back to when I first started I would only go out in the dark and would change direction if someone was approaching because I felt silly and embarrassed. Now I don't give a dam I'm proud ,healthy, having fun and yes i remain slow and steady but that's me and I love me 😃

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to LUVLEEJU]

Good for you...it will be me too..I honestly don't care if I don't ever get to 5k, that is not what this is about... for me it is the fact that turning 50 has made me really think about my lifestyle, and the past 7 weeks have been great.

[Vixen67 Graduate]

It creeps up on you after that last 30 min run/jog ... the determination sets in ... I will do 5k ... the time ... doesn't matter ...I'll watch now in interest 🏃🏼‍♀️🐶

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Vixen67]

We will see!! 😊 I hope so!!

[Vixen67 Graduate]

I go with the saying ... it's not the speed it's the distance covered ... 🏃🏼‍♀️🐶👍

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Vixen67]

Yeah but I am doing much distance either only managed 2.7 k in the 25 mins!! 🤣

[Vixen67 Graduate]

But .... I detest that word but ... before starting out what would have 25 mins achieved ... see massive progress 👍🏃🏼‍♀️🐶🎉

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Vixen67]

Hmmm yes when you put it that way I guess you are right!!

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Polly2810]

Progress is so much more interesting a process than perfection
