What did I do??!?

I signed up to join a bunch of other c25k-ers run a 5k on August 11!!!! Oh, jeez!!! (sadly, no park runs here in Pennsylvania, but lots of charity 5k races). A friend of mine is heading it up, and rallying her peeps. Some are from other c25k programs, others are come as you are, so an eclectic group. I’m on the 6th week now, so I should be able to finish up “our” program, do consolidation runs and be tweaked up for August 11! This makes it real 😬😬😬😬

Sounds brilliant cc! I signed up for Prospect Run the Rainbow 🌈 charity run in September in memory of loved ones. All being well, I’ll be well into post grad runs! Whenever those gremlins come a hunting, that’s my ultimate weapon to slay them. Doesn’t matter how slow I go, as long as I go! I’m doing this for me and them! The only limits in life are the ones we believe exists. I’ve banished so many in 7 weeks - it’s unreal! Relax and enjoy the runs! You’ll be good and ready. ❤️

Fabulous! Can’t wait to hear how you get on. It’s nice to have that goal to aim for. 😀

Good luck with the rest of your C25K and ultimately your official 5K!

That’s a fab goal! You have plenty of time, so make sure you are super-sensible with any little aches and pains from now on. Enjoy your running!

I’m using peer pressure as a training tool. 😁😁

Do you hear that chelsea007? 😉 It’s called “peer pressure”! I like to think of it as motivation too! ❤️
