W5R3 Completed today

[Kazbar10]

So pleased with myself as I completed my 20 minute run today in the pouring rain, I'd just done the 5 minute warm up when it started but I continued in the pouring rain, that's not me as I hate getting wet, this running is doing funny things to me 🤣 got home like a drowned rat

Well Done you. R3 is a big turning point. At least the rain kept you cool. 💦

[Kazbar10 Graduate in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks muchly and yes it did keep me cool, it would have been harder if very hot....it was a big step as everyone finds out to suddenly go from 2X8 minutes to 20 but the inspiration on the forum keeps you pushing 👍

Running + rain 👌🏽

Well done!

[Darude Graduate]

Excellent work, overcoming the 20 mins fear is the major step towards completing C25K. Keep up the great progress!

[Kazbar10 Graduate]

Thanks so much I can see you've been through it all, so a huge congratulations to you to 👍

I just started week 5..3 x 5 mins was ok...the 2 x 8 seems doable but the 20 min seems another level. The leader of my group thinks I'll be fine...run due Tuesday so time will tell. It seems a large hurdle at the moment. Well done you for getting it done.

[Kazbar10 Graduate in reply to tuffybug]

Honestly you will be fine doing it, when jogging think of it as 5 minute chunks as that helped spur me on, you've trained for this and you can do it.....wishing you good luck for Tuesday & let us all know how you got on 🏃🏃

[tuffybug Graduate in reply to Kazbar10]

Thank you, will do indeed. Am marshalling a marathon event tomorrow and will take inspiration from those running a far greater distance and time than me...even they started slowly once upon a time. Have a good running week.

Nice one Kazbar! You rock!

This program does strange things to people! Running in the rain now, what will be next?

[Kazbar10 Graduate in reply to _SimonT_]

Gee thanks Simon W6 next so tears and tantrums to come I guess lol

Loving the challenge though & thanks for your support 👍🏃

[sallenson Graduate]

Drowned yet strangely happy I bet. Raining for mine too, but the bonus was no-one could distinguish between the rain and the tears

Well done you!! Come and join us on W6!!

[Kazbar10 Graduate in reply to sallenson]

Thanks I'm with you on that the tears mingled into one haha, starting W6 on Monday so good luck to you too & keep at it 👍🏃

Fantastic! Well done.

You know you're hooked when you're running in the rain! 🤣🤣

[Kazbar10 Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Thanks JoJo, I did nearly turn back but thought it's just a shower, how wrong was I, so yes I must be hooked as I hate getting wet haha

Still a long way to go but such a wonderful feeling..... well done to you on graduating 👍👍👏👏🏃🏃
