Surprised 😮 Myself

[Jen58]

I went and finished week 8 today , that week was a long one 🙄

I decided to do a loop today

I did the program then walked rest of the way

Checked my progress when I got home

3.50km I had run😳 now that was a surprise😊 never run that far before

Fingers crossed week 9 will not take as long to do 😂

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

Well done. I seem to recall w8 felt pretty hard. W9 is easier I think 👍😁

[Jen58 in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

I really enjoyed my run today 15 days since I did my last run I was so pleased I could still run for 28 mins ,

Wk9 I want to smash it 😂

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Jen58]

Think smooth and steady rather than smash 😉

[Jen58 in reply to Oldfloss]

As long as I manage to do week 9 faster than week 8 then to me I have smashed it 😉

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Well done..these lovely longer runs are made for taking slowly and enjoying. 😊

[Jen58 in reply to Oldfloss]

Jo Whiley tells me that if I am not tired to try and step up the pace ? So that's what I did ?

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Jen58]

If you felt fine.. then that is fine You are your best guide...

[Jen58 in reply to Oldfloss]

I felt fine , I certainly wouldn’t have stepped it up if I thought I would injured myself ,

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Jen58]

Go you

[Razouski]

Well done Jen58 , 15 day’s was a long break so you did well to get back into it so successfully. I think you’ll do fine on week 9, that’s the beauty of this programme.

[Jen58 in reply to Razouski]

Thank you Razouski, I certainly was surprised that I did so well , I have had my ups and downs since I started this programme,

Hopefully week 9 will be kind to me 👍🏻

How are you doing Steve ?

[Tbae]

Enjoy your week9.🌟👏👏

Listen to Mentor Oldfloss.👏👏

You have done great.👍

Keep smiling and enjoy.🌟👏👏

[Jen58 in reply to Tbae]

30mins of running wow I can't believe that I have finally got to week 9 I certainly intended to enjoy the 3 runs ,

I have enjoyed the other runs , only this time I have no hesitation, doubts I know I can do the 30min runs and I am so proud to be able to say this 👍🏻

This programme is the best 😊

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Jen58]

You should be proud,,, well deserved

[Tbae in reply to Jen58]

I am so pleased for you.🌟👏👏

Be proud, you deserve this and more.🌟👏👏

[Hidden]

Brilliant - just one week to go!

[Jen58 in reply to Hidden]

It would be great if I could do WK 9 in One week 👍🏻🙄😊

[Hidden]

Struggling with week 4 so I’m doing it again🤣

[Jen58 in reply to Hidden]

Good Luck Steve ... Keep @ it 👍🏻

YOU CAN DO THIS 😊

[Hidden]

Thank you Jen with forum friends like you pushing me forward I will get there😊

[Jen58 in reply to Hidden]

Yes Mr you will get there 😉 and along the way you need to change your name 👍🏻

To me you are Special Steve ?

[SusieHicks Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Me too! Fatsteve seems altogether too self-effacing. I’m thinking of renaming myself slow-goddess, but only once I’ve done week 9 :-)))

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]

Good luck with Week 9 Jen, you know you will do it, so settle into your happy pace and enjoy it...😊x

[Jen58 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thank you ever so much ... I can believe I am so excited 😂😂

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate]

[Jen58 in reply to Mummycav]

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Jen58]

No pressure on the time....or distance

[Jen58 in reply to Mummycav]

I know 😂 just as well 😂 I do want to finish this in a decent time scale though 😂

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Jen58]

But you can work on that post graduation...enjoy the rest of your runs...however fast/slow they are ❤️🏃🏼‍♀️

[SusieHicks Graduate]

Hope week 9 is going well I’ a week behind you and a tiny bit older ( 58 in January) and I think we should both be very proud of ourselves :-))))

[Jen58 in reply to SusieHicks]
