I did it!

Like everyone else I approached week 5 run 3 with trepidation but i did it this afternoon and flew through it! I was amazed at how quickly the 20 minutes passed. I now KNOW that I can do a Park Run with my granddaughters in April - so looking forward to it. Photo is my happy face at the end of the run. Incidentally, it was minus 4 with a wind that cut like a knife!

Well done. And you by any chance have a Triumph?

We did have a Triumph Sprint bike which is when I started using Triumphbabe. We no longer have the bike but we do have a Triumph TR4 so the name is still applicable - except that it's a long time since I was a "babe" in any shape or form!

Wonderful - my dream was to have a TR4A, but I ended up with a succession of much cheaper Herald convertibles. Even the Vitesse was a bit beyond reach in those days.

But I do still have a Bonneville I bought new in 1978 - and a hooligan of a Street Triple and last year I spent my life savings on a new modern 900 Bonneville.

And never stop thinking of yourself as a 'babe'.... Couch to 5k turns us all into babes....
