Prosecco Made Me Do It!

[Bridget007]

I signed up for this virtual 5k run on Tuesday thinking it was in June. Then when I was checking my emails yesterday I saw it was for May 😂

Off I toddled this morning starting with my 5 minute brisk walk. I started running and after I had been plodding for about 3 minutes my legs decided they could go faster and off they went! I kept thinking wow I’m going fast I must slow down a bit! My legs wouldn’t listen ... I was like a snail being chased by a hedgehog! My Strava was giving me PR’s all over the run!

5k done! Medal on its way 😊

Well done Bridget, you're turbo charged with booze and your graduate badge. There's no stopping you now.

Like many others, park run tomorrow, so let's pop done corks now!

There's not really a word for it, but I'm like a shopaholic, just with booze. 😉

[Bridget007 Graduate in reply to Marvo69]

Well done you and your park runs I’m not brave enough yet 😌 ... will you be turning into Forrest again? any famous names tomorrow 😃 don’t drink and run it will spill and that would just be a waste 😂🥂🥂

[Marvo69 Graduate]

😂😂

You have a graduate badge and a 5k medal! You're amidst the elite runners now. Get out there Bridget and join the fun!

Where's your nearest park run, I'll come do it with you!

[Bridget007 Graduate in reply to Marvo69]

🤣🤣🤣 I have haven’t I 🏃‍♀️🥇 ... I’ll have a look at park runs in the near future 😬 that podium is calling you soon too!

[Marvo69 Graduate]

I'm not far off now! Finished week 7 and I know I can do an extra 5 minutes 😱

Once I'm done I'm aiming for the 30 minute 5k

And I'm corraling all my supporters including you to meet for a mass park run to do it!

It's an unlikely blockbuster... 007 meets Forrest Gump!

And there's Prosecco at the finish line! 😃

[Bridget007 Graduate in reply to Marvo69]

I’d better up my game or you’ll be at the finish line before I’m halfway round! When I say I was like a speedy snail I was exaggerating 🤣🤣🤣 did you say prosecco at the finishing line ... I’m in mish money penny 🥂🥂

[Dexy5 Graduate]

Well Done Bridget, 5k? I am impressed. 😃🏃‍♀️👍

[Bridget007 Graduate in reply to Dexy5]

Thank you 😊 I’ve just seen you’ve hurt your ankle! I hope it feels better soon. At least you can still run if only a couple of times a week do can keep your fitness levels up😁 who would have thought this time 3 months ago we would have been worried at not to be able to run 3 times a week! 😁😁😁

[Dexy5 Graduate in reply to Bridget007]

Yes, it’s like someone sprinkled fairy dust over us and we became runners. No it was a bit harder than that, but totally amazing.

Oh dear! I was seriously slow getting around to replying to you Bridget. Sorry! I am a little confused, brain slow rather like my running is slow, as to what you mean by a virtual 5k? But whether it was virtual or not sounds like you ran 5k! Well done you! Also sounds like it wasn't a park run, whatever it was, PBs all over the place and 5k sounds brilliant to me! And a medal on the way! Well done you! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥂

[Bridget007 Graduate in reply to over61andstilltrying]

My medal arrived today! 🏅 glad I didn’t have to run with it round my neck it’s enormous!

It’s a website called virtual runner and you apply to do a race, pay them some money which goes to charity, then off you plod and track your run with Strava or mapmyrun, send them a photo of proof that you’ve done the run and they send you a medal 😁😁😁

[over61andstilltrying Graduate]

Aw! All new to me! I think a photo of your enormous medal would be very good! Although this one🏅 is good too! All the best for your next run!

[NJGam Graduate]

Well done! Of all the things prosecco has made me do, it’s never made me run 5k! I think I should maybe have a glass or two and see what happens...🤔🥂😂!! Keep up the good work!

[Bridget007 Graduate in reply to NJGam]

And I didn’t spill a drop 🤣🤣🤣 the medal arrived today in the post glad I didn’t have to run with it round my neck it’s really big and heavy 😂😂 🥂 🍾
