Can’t believe I’ve done week 6. Absolutely on top of the world right now.

I’m officially a runner! (that’s what Michael Johnson said 😉) 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

Merry Christmas to all! 🎄🎉🎄

Ooh yes, I was doubly elated when I saw the rear end of week 6 (elated that I had, indeed, seen its rear end) and that I could officially call myself a runner.

Congratulations and Merry Christmas ‘runner’ ... it’s fun, fun, fun from here on 🤗

Well done 😊 thats fab 😊

Oh! Wow! Looking forward to the day I’ll actually find the runs lovely. Right now each one is a struggle, that’s why the elation after the runs that they are over 😆

Well done. I am missing MJ so might put him back on for a repeat. Congrats on Week. Rather special feeling and certainly more good stuff to come.

Enjoy!

Hi Dreamtorun, you're at exactly the same stage as me! Go us! I found yesterday quite tough because I had a bit too much to drink on Christmas day and woke up with a headache. I finally got out around 3pm and kept thinking I wouldn't get to the end (especially after 5 minutes - I couldn't believe I still had 20 minutes to go.) My calves were really tight when I finished but I walked it off.

I've started believing I might really finish this now, and move on to the next challenge.

Good luck tomorrow

Love L xxxx

Hey, that’s great to know! All the best for the last 3 weeks. I feel like you too. At the beginning of the run it seems impossible and at the end I simply find it hard to believe that I’ve finished it!

Go us! We deserve a pat on the back for coming this far.

Hope the weather is better tomorrow. It’s chucking down with rain/sleet ☔️ here today!
