Can't believe it!

Yes, I've just completed my W2R1 with the help of the lovely Michael. Thought I would never make it after the first 90 second run but I kept in going. Took your advice and took it nice and slow counting my breathing. Yes, I'm sure some snails overtook me but nonetheless I completed it. So proud of myself. πŸ™‹πŸ»

The snails were just helping you along, showing the way. Very well done you!

Just enjoy the journey.... steady and slow and breathe gently as you go:)

Thanks. I'm quite enjoying it 😊

Well done, achieving a new milestone is fantastic isn't it? I know what you mean about the first 90 second run. My temptation is always to set off too fast and then I regret it later. Slow and steady! It makes the snails feel good when they pass us :-)

Yep, slow is the answer. If only I realised this years ago.

Don't worry about the snails, they are used to us slow ones. As long as you're not walking, you're running.

Those 90 seconds are tough but you know you can do it, especially with Mr Smooth's help.

Let the snails zoom past. It means the gremlins can attack them rather than you.

90 seconds never seemed so long before. But you did it!!!!!! Be proud of YOU.

Rest tomorrow and then after starting the weekend with a new milestone you can finish it on Sunday by notching up another full week!

Thank you 😊

Well done fellow Smoothie. Mr Smooth is always a comfort as a coach in the early runs, he keeps you going and motivated. But your head and legs are working hard too. Rightfully you are proud of yourself.
