Listen if I can do it - ANYONE can!!!:

I’m a little bit; well alot pleased cos I’ve managed to hit a zone? Yes a this is wierd but I want to keep doing my weird clumsy awkward looking slow jogging !

I know! This is the girl who dreaded PE! And cross country at school and scarred for life by effing sports!

This feels wierd to say but when sarah M has said in her cute Geordie ‘go’ I’ve thought you know what I’ll just keep going to Next lamp post and Next corner then Next landmark etc and it was easier to just keep doing my mental looking lite jog ! ! !

I ended up ‘jogging’ For 25 mins on my last week of week 3!!!!

I run on flat country lanes. I’m elated and obviously have a 16 stone body built for endurance (not speed)! This is an absolute first for me x thank you to you and all who are so kind - to another me out there: you’ve got this!

2 quotes that inspired me and see in my head when I run is:

NEVER EVER QUIT

The other:

Trust your legs they know what to do!

Hope this helps someone else too x

Well done you! I envy your flat lanes. We live in a dip so the outward part is always the hardest... but makes the return a bit easier!

Thank you - well done YOU! Just think you’d be able to do the forest 5ks and obstacle course ones would be a breeze to you! I think of those with trepidation! Keeeeeep jogging! (Said strictly style)
