OMG! I did it!!

[Vicki1976]

Sorry this is going to be a bit of a brag, but I'm so proud of myself!! Just finished week 8 and I did my first 5km race today! Managed to finish it in 40 minutes with no walking (apart from a couple of steps around a really big muddy puddle!) Got my first medal!! Only downside - my sister beat me by 1 second!!

That’s amazing well done!!!🎉

If it hadn't been for the bling I might have cried off when I saw the snow this morning!!

Wow ... amazing. I’m just about to start Week 8 and want to sign up for park runs but was going to try to increase running time after week 9 to 35 min then 40 first but might not be necessary? ☺️

To be quite honest I have been running bits of the warm up walk and cool down walk for the last week or so. Furthest that I had managed distance wise was 2.7 miles but my sister wouldn't let me stop or walk this morning!

[linzijaine in reply to Vicki1976]

Ahhhh that makes sense... so you’ve already increased your time. Yeh I read you’re supposed to increase by 10% each week. Well least it should be nicer weather by time I get there! Well done though ... very inspiring ☺️

Brag away! That's a major achievement! Too bad about your sister though. I brought my non-running little brother out running one time. He beat me by a country mile. It was the last time I invited him out
