Take that, Week 4 run 1 😁

12 Replies

Well the beautiful weather and early start helped, but it seems I can now manage 5 minutes without too much pain. It was getting a little hard towards the end of the final run, but Jo started twittering at me which helped, and before I knew it I was done. I could never have believed I could get even this far, so be encouraged, if I can do it, you can too!

Bring it on, run 2 :-)

I already am! I can actually see that I'm getting better, fitter, and that is so encouraging!

Beautiful! Well done you and keep it slow and steady!

in reply to Oldfloss

Oh yes, slow and steady really works, you know? If I feel it's getting too much, I just back off the pace slightly and think about something else, and so far it's been fine :-)

Brilliant, Neil. And that looks like a very pretty run route. I really loved week 4. Sniffle. Feeling nostalgia about it even though I only finished it yesterday. 😂 The 2nd 5 min run - yup, I had to dig deep to finish that myself, but the point is we did it! Feel proud. 😘

in reply to Sadie-runs

We did, didn't we? Well done you!! And thanks sooo much for all your encouragement!
