Well MJ said I think you are officially a runner now🏃 i enjoyed that one I think ! All the phrases came into that 25mins (yes 25 mins can’t really believe it) “ slow n steady” “plodding” “go slower “ “really will b going backwards if I go any slower” my legs at the Hill 5mins in felt like I had a car strapped to each of them but they got better. Positive thinking and sheer bloody determination came into play as I wasn’t going to be beaten Get out there and do it people it’s a great feeling have a great day and weekend from a very hot n sweaty “RUNNER” in Cornwall 😀👍

Well done!

I'm also running in Cornwall. There is just enough coolness to keep it comfortable. I've completed week 2 so a bit of a way to where you are but enjoying the journey to get there. Happy running :)

Congratulations! That’s very encouraging, planning to do that run today. Was supposed to do it yesterday but life got in the way and I was surprisingly disappointed to postpone it. Must be enjoying this running lark!

Thank you and you👍

Great achievement, well done 👍🏻 I’m intrigued as to why we become official runners after week 6?! Either way, I’ll take it!

Thank you, I was an as well sounds good though 👍😀🏃

Mr Smooth never gives out the runner accolades, without having checked you’re doing the work. So well done you, you have run, worked and run again. You sure are a runner!

Thank you, don’t know if he would have said that if he had witnessed the ‘run’ in the flesh though 😀

What the eyes don’t see the heart can’t grieve over! That was always my hope anyway. Pretty running never on my list.
