[Bridget007 Graduate]

Well done! I did the same run today 😀

[NicolaD Graduate]

Yes I feel pretty good too Ali! Lets get run 2 under our belts! x

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

Are you doing it tomorrow?

[NicolaD Graduate in reply to AliK0871]

Thursday Ali, are you doing yours tomorrow? Aren't we doing well!! x

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

Yip hopefully tomorrow morning will let you know how it goes x

[NicolaD Graduate in reply to AliK0871]

Brilliant, well done! x

[NicolaD Graduate in reply to AliK0871]

Did you get it done Ali? x

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

I did but had heavy legs when I woke up this morning and last 5mins was like running through treacle. Still didn’t let the little gremlins get the better of me!!!!

Let me know how you get on tomorrow. When are you doing the big 25. I’m aiming for Sat xx

[NicolaD Graduate]

Well done Ali!! Defeated gremlins!

I was like that with the heavy legs on Monday which was why I had another rest day. It's awful that running through treacle feeling. Yes planning on doing the big 25 on Saturday also. I'll see how my little legs feel though!! Would be good to get it done together! xx

[NicolaD Graduate]

Run 2 done. My legs feel really tired. Hope I'll be recovered for Saturday! Finding it all quite enjoyable weirdly! x

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

Well done you x Am slightly nervous re Sat as legs still tired

[NicolaD Graduate in reply to AliK0871]

Thanks. I think mine might be tired tomorrow too Ali. Just been looking at the weeks ahead and only just realised there are no more intervals!! x

[NicolaD Graduate]

How you feeling Ali?

My legs are feeling tired, in fact, I'm feeling tired too! Will try my hardest to get R3 done tomorrow, but I don't want a running through treacle feeling! x

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

Part of me excited part really nervous. Legs have felt tired all week. Will just see how it goes. Good luck will message you tomorrow xxx

[NicolaD Graduate in reply to AliK0871]

Good luck too Ali. I am feeling the same! x

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

I DID IT 😱😱😱😱😱

[NicolaD Graduate in reply to AliK0871]

Me too Ali!! How you doing? I'm having a smug cup of tea, hahaha!!

If it hadn't been for you I might have had another rest day but you gave me the push to get back on today so thank you!

I found it ok did you? I sped up slightly in the last minute like Laura says you can but I only go slow anyway so probably the average persons normal speed!! Feeling good!!!!

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

Haha we’re mirror images. I sped up for the last minute too. First 5 calves were tight but then loosened off biggest challenge was mental one to keep going. We’re going to smash this together Nicola!!!!!

Had some cereal now heading to a charity coffee morning. Going out to Uganda in the summer so doing some fund raising

When are you planning on starting wk7 😱. Can you believe we’re going into w7?????

[NicolaD Graduate]

Uganda! Wow that's brill!

My right Achilles started playing up in the first 5 minutes but then seemed ok. When I stretch my legs my hamstrings are bulging slightly!!

I am thinking Monday for week 7 what about you? Although if I am still tired I could do Tuesday.

No I can't believe we are going into week 7 either. I will be a bit sad when it ends I think!

I'd best get in the shower. Hubby has been called out at work so think I'll go and see my sister. Have a great day!!!

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

Hoping to run Monday evening. Have a great weekend will check in with you beginning of week xx

[NicolaD Graduate in reply to AliK0871]

I've been out walking in the hills this morning. Might not have been a good idea, determined to still run tomorrow though! I'll let you know how I get on! x

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

Speak tomorrow x

[NicolaD Graduate in reply to AliK0871]

Hi Ali, Wk7 Run 1 completed! It was ok actually, I think you will be fine! Good luck! x

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

Well done you!!! Just about to finish work then heading out

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

Def much harder work but I’m finish and feel really good once finished xx

[NicolaD Graduate in reply to AliK0871]

Yay! Well done Ali!! Wednesday then?! We are doing so well! The feeling afterwards is great isn't it!

I've been running on the treadmill so it makes it easier to control my pace......slow! Without the treadmill though I wouldn't have got to this point at all.

At some point I will have to get outside! I've got a park over the road but I'm so self conscious! xx

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

I normally run down the cycle track near me which is surrounded by trees but Sat and yesterday I ventured out and tried different routes. Quite enjoyed the change of scene!

Wed here we come xxx

[NicolaD Graduate in reply to AliK0871]

Getting a bit nervous about my Wednesday run, not sure why!! I will definitely venture into the park at some point and the beach too. Maybe after I've lost a bit more weight! x

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

I was so focused on not dying on sat I ran straight passed one of my work colleagues and hadn’t even noticed her 😂😂😂

[NicolaD Graduate in reply to AliK0871]

Haha!! If I go outside I will most definitely be wearing blinkers!! x

[NicolaD Graduate in reply to AliK0871]

Morning Ali. R2 completed. I found it harder today, legs felt heavy. Good luck for yours!!! x

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

Hey Mrs

Just back in. That was my hardest run so far wanted to stop after 5 mins 😂😂😂. Struggled on and finished but so glad it was over. Hope Saturday is better 😖 xx

[NicolaD Graduate in reply to AliK0871]

Sounds like you've had a similar run to me Ali. We can relax now safe in the knowledge that its in the bag! Well done us!! I'm doing mine on Friday if I feel ok as going walking up the hills on Saturday (well that's the plan at the mo anyway!) x

[AliK0871 Graduate in reply to NicolaD]

Went out late this afternoon and did it...wk 7 complete. At the moment knees/shins feel ok. W8 here we come Nicola xx
