W5R2 Wahooooooo!! 😬

Yay!! I did it!! I'm so freakin' pleased with myself!! I can actually run for 8minutes! One of my favourite tunes came on for my 5minute cool down and being of a certain age πŸ˜‚ I welled up! Yes mad perimenopausal woman with enormous headphones on looking like an 80's throwback - welling up and grinning at the same time! πŸ˜‚ I've had very few achievements in life as I tend not to put the effort in and give up too easily, but I've stuck to this and am so proud of myself! Go me! And go everyone else! πŸ€—

No need to be so hard on yourself............... You ran for 16 minutes, not 8!!!

With your five minute walk you were physically active for 21 minutes so don't forget that, you never know when you might need to know that.

Relax and enjoy yourself.

Hurray! Well done, you! I’m only slightly ahead of you on the programme, and I totally relate to most of your post πŸ˜‚. You’re going to feel so amazing when you’ve done W5R3 😊.

You did it! Well done you! Proud of you! I've got run 3 today but have to wait till after work - flitting between feeling negative and realistic - just want to get it over with! Need to do this one somewhere private-like an empty field, as I will need to tell myself out loud to keep going-like in week 4! Don't want to risk looking like a complete fruit-loop! πŸ˜‚

Im still on the treadmill it's really hilly where I live unless I get in the car and drive somewhere so I can shout at myself as loud as I need to 😁🀣
