Hello all, just completed the penultimate run. I did 4.6k, so marginally better than Mondayโ€™s 4.4k in 30 minutes. ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘Apparently I ran each kilometre in 19 seconds less according to Strava, so I must be doing something right! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Iโ€™d have loved to do 5k but Iโ€™ve got something to aim at at the weekend now ๐Ÿ˜Š Iโ€™ll keep at it and see where it leads me.

Aiming for graduation on Saturday if all goes to plan ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅ‚๐ŸŽ“ and I can see the finishing line ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ†

Take care out there, itโ€™s quite warm this evening โ˜บ๏ธ

Well, possibly a cheetah thatโ€™s eaten too much tea and is getting on a bit ๐Ÿ˜Š, but thanks for the thought!! Good luck to you with your endeavours.

Thanks, Iโ€™m feeling confident now and my Parkrun registration came through today, so Iโ€™ll definitely be carrying on running once Iโ€™ve graduated ๐Ÿ‘

Weโ€™ve started up a virtual Parkrun where I work, so we can all register our times and where we run. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธThey tell me itโ€™s not a competition but I know some people will treat it like that ๐Ÿ˜Š. As for me, Iโ€™m just happy to be fit enough to take part at the moment!

Thanks Windmill! Iโ€™m so close to doing 5K so Iโ€™ll keep going on Saturday until Iโ€™ve done it, even if Iโ€™ve done 30 minutes by then. Itโ€™s all about pride now! ๐Ÿ˜Š
