Will I ever finish week 5?

[RuthL]

Just started week 5 again after nearly a 3 week break. Started with run 1, and found it surprisingly easy, so looking forward to run 2, and then the dreaded run 3... which should fall on Xmas eve 😝

Go for it. What better Christmas present than knowing you've defeated week 5. (OK there are probably lots better presents, but still a cool achievement for Christmas.)

Hey that’s great Ruth! That must have been such a relief knowing you hadn’t lost your fitness.

Tomorrow or Friday I’m going to repeat W5 R2 as had to go to physio last night, my lower back and buttock muscles were getting screwed up.

Let’s keep each other posted 🙂

Go you.. slow and steady!

[RuthL Graduate in reply to Lindarunner]

Hope your back is better now. That means we’re both at exactly the same stage. Yes, let’s keep each other posted 😀

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

You will, and what a brilliant early gift!!!

You just take it slow and steady and relax into the run. you are completely ready for it

[Anthie Graduate]

Yes, you will! Don't you worry and as Old Floss is repeating, slow and steady. Enjoy R2 and don't even think about R3: your body will be ready for it. Go for it and enjoy yourself! And don't forget, you can leave 2 days between the runs if you need (but it sounds that after a 2 week break, you're doing fine!).

[Millsie-J Graduate]

You can do this. Take your time, enjoy!

Took me two years to graduate. Since I have done regular 5 miles cross country, 10 mile race and half. You'll get there.

Thank you all for the encouragement. I didn’t manage Week 5 run 3 on Xmas eve, surprise, surprise! But I did do it today. Slowly. But I did it 😆
