W5R3! Official runner now surely. 😀

Here is my chuffed to bits face. 😂

Been really looking forward to this run. Woke up knowing that it was going to be a not so great run. My legs already felt tired and heavy, damn varicose veins. My support stockings didn't take the edge off, but I really really wanted to do this run.

First 5 minutes were uncomfortable, next five was as slow as I could go, I actually thought a few times they were going to stop despite my insistence that they kept on moving. Third 5 minutes got gradually easier and finally found the sweet spot and managed to up the pace for the last five minutes which were exhilarating!

Well I never! Twenty minutes in the bag. Go me!

Earning a well deserved chilled out ten minutes in the garden enjoying the morning sun before a shower.

Well done Trixabelle! Interesting to hear how it went. I will be doing W5 R3 tomorrow. It’s definitely getting serious now!

What happened? Hope you aren't too disheartened, chalk it down to extra experience and try again after a rest day.

Hi TrixabelleB another example of how much stronger mentally we all become, sticking with the desire to achieve our goals and banishing those negative thoughts, enjoy the feeling!

[TrixabelleB Graduate]

I'm feeling much stronger in every way. Happy bunny.

I just msg you and found this.....well done lady!!! Feelings fab ain’t it!!! It’s shocking what we have learnt and how our legs just carry us. It’s all in the mind. I’m hoping to go tomorrow for my next run. Had the weekend off. X
