W6 R3 - I did it!

[angemum]

Just so thrilled. Wasn't planning on going today, but for me it was perfect running weather - not too warm, not too cold, quiet & still - so tho I was tired, I thought what the hell? If I can't do it, I'll just repeat. And in the end it was no problem at all! The minutes just sped by (unlike me, haha!) and in no time, Mr Smooth was whispering sweet nothings in my ear & telling me I was a runner Feel he was being kind as even jogging overeggs it a bit, but that's not the point. When I think of how I was counting down each minute in week 1, it just seems incredible to be where I am now. And so lovely to be able to post here. Not many people out there quite get it! Thanks everyone ... x

Well done fellow smoothie, btw if Mr S tells you you are a runner, then I'd believe him - he knows his onions!

W6R3 today for me 🏃🏼‍♀️ Amazed that I am completing this and enjoying it too. Bit daunted by all runs now being 25 mins and more but I've got this far so why not hey 😀

[Or10 in reply to Uphill-downhill]

Well

Done. I was the same. Very worried by the 25 mins coming one after another . No one can believe I've got to week 8 , before this I hadn't run ( even for a bus) in 40 years! It's a great programme but I've had to slow down the pace and now go every three days now it's 28 mins. Want to complete and not get injured. You'll be fine I'm sure. Good luck !

Thank you, been and done W6R3 this morning, in the drizzle too! Using Sarah M the the time passed and I kept going 😀 I've not been referred to as a runner since I was 13 and I'm 52 now! Thanks to the program and the forum for encouragement x

[angemum Graduate in reply to Uphill-downhill]

congrats! enjoy the rest of it. have to say i'm beginning to feel more confident about it now. would love to graduate by xmas, but am taking my time, so we'll see!

[angemum Graduate]

Thank you! I'm certainly doing this at my own pace, often leaving several days in between runs. Am in no hurry. Want this to be for pleasure - & for life!
