Week 8 Complete !

[Dawnie16]

Just did a very hot 3rd run to complete week 8. Still can't quite believe I've got this far. It was tough tonight, had a proper runner run past me, I felt like I was standing Still 😁 but I persevered and now looking forward to week 9...mind you if any one had said at the end of tonight's run that I had to do another 2 mins....id have cried 😭

Absolutely fantastic! You are a real runner they were just a bit faster that's all!

Your lovely three runs to the podium.

Relax ,Start positive, Stay positive and enjoy.🌟👏👏

Thank you...cant believe I've nearly done it 😁

[Tbae in reply to Dawnie16]

Yes and after your celebrations the pleasure and enjoyment continue.

Run because we can.🌟👏👏

Love that saying ...Run because we can 😊😊

[Tbae in reply to Myrar]

Yes Myrar, we were born to run.Running with a good form and kissing the ground gently is kinder on our bodies than brisk walking.

We spend our lives walking and still we expect that we can build our running bodies and running brains in a very short period.

Yes run because we can,and give yourself the pleasure and joy that running will give you.

I am a novice runner just started this year in my 75th, best ever decision of my entire fitness life.

Enjoy your happy running journey.🌟👏👏

[Myrar Graduate in reply to Tbae]

[RobW73 Graduate]

Congratulations on completing your penultimate week Dawnie, only three sessions left!

I can understand feeling entitely spent at the end of a run, I suppose it shows that you paced yourself perfectly?

Never lose sight of everything you have accomplished. Each session completed is a milestone and each week is a major milestone.

Good luck in your final week.

[Dawnie16 Graduate in reply to RobW73]

Thanks RobW73..its been a journey and a half, but a great sense of achievement.

Well done Dawnie, it is incredible how far we’ve come, isn’t it? (and I am speaking as another overweight 60 year old!). I also think we underestimate the effect of the weather - the recent hot and humid weather has made running very difficult (and sweaty!) I think. So well done again for completing it.

[Dawnie16 Graduate in reply to HoagyM]

Thank you...we should be very proud of how far we've come 😁😁
