Week 4 completed 😀

After a break of a week and a half, went away with the brownies. I finally completed week 4 and I figured I’d try and run s little further (slowly). So I ran through the warm down completing 10 mins of running consecutively. I was overtaken by lots of runners in this time but feel amazing. Just finishing off with a 10 min walk home to warm down.

Good stuff Happy! Certainly sounds like you are cruising through. Week 5 is epic and it sounds like you are ready for it! Well done😁

It’s no cruise, I wish. I remember about twenty years ago I used to out for a run with a friend and didn’t even blink at running, you know, fast running,long strides and covering ground, for twenty mins. Now it’s taken four weeks and I can manage a just about faster than walking jog for 10mins, happy walkers are not overtaking me and feeling like I might die.

Well you are still doing great! I bet those Brownies keep you on your toes, too! My 8yo is in the Brownies. Are you an Owl?

No, my daughter goes and they needed an extra adult. After the camp I’m thinking about joining as a guide helper though. I used to help out years ago. I was called Squirrel

It wasn’t so bad until I was in a busy train station and one of the brownies saw me and yelled ‘HELLO SQUIRREL’ to me so I had to respond and I imagine everyone there assumed that was my actual name 😳😊🤣
