20mins! Shut the front door

[Dee_N]

She’s only gone and done it!!

Week 5 run 3.

Wow...like many of you I have never in my adult life been able to run for 20mins without stopping!! Such an achievement!

😆

What I’m more proud of however is how my attitude has changed from thinking ‘how am I going to do this!?’ To ‘there’s no reason why I can’t do this!!’

Now that’s the real success!! 😍😍😍

[Tasha99 Graduate]

Superb!! You did it and you learned the hidden truth!! We CAN do it if we WANT to 👍😁

Well done. That's your milestone run done. Be careful of the next one, it will feel harder than you expect after today's glory. 😉

Enjoy that buzz. You're doing fantastic 🥉😁👍

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

I have heard that week 6 is a sneaky begger so I will approach with caution 😉

[sparkyjohn Graduate]

Great stuff. That's the attitude that will take you all the way.

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to sparkyjohn]

I’m hoping it will stay with me as things ramp up!! 🙈

[Matilda2903 Graduate]

Well done you! I'm also getting that 'I can do it' feeling, despite a small set back in W5, R2, I'm going to nail run 3 next week, I'm determined! It's a bit addictive this running lark, isn't it! Congratulations on running the 20 mins and good luck with the rest of the program 😁

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Matilda2903]

😂😂😂

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Dee_N]

Only slightly better than my foot in mouth moment this morning. I had my husbands parents and aunt and staying this weekend. Post run shower, I came down and declared to mum, aunt and my husband that I was still pooping instead of sweating!! Where the frig did that come from!? Needless to say my husband was pissing himself laughing 🙈🙈🙈

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Dee_N]

🤣🤣 Runner's brain!!

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

What a muppet!! Lol

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Dee_N]

[Crawlhome Graduate]

Well done. It's a real turning point that run and you should rightly feel very proud of yourself. This is where the fun starts!! 😁😁🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Crawlhome]

Where sh*t gets real!!!!🙈🙈🙈

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to Dee_N]

[Fernshome]

Go you very well done👏

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Fernshome]

Thank you so much 😊

[Fabulous450 Graduate]

Go Dee!!! Yaaaay! I’m sorry I missed your update post! I can imagine you’re still buzzing though. That run is so memorable and it’s the one that truly made me think my goodness this is me and it’s possible!! You’ve done a brilliant job! You’re amazing! Well done you!! ❤️

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

Please don’t apologise...I’m so rubbish at missing other people’s posts!!

It definitely is a turning point! And yes I feel great! I’m just amazed at how much my fitness has improved. I was running comfortably. I mean what the hell!? Running and comfortable was some kind of myth for me that I didn’t think could ever be possible 😮😮

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to Dee_N]

Great feeling to know that you can. Continue to take it slowly running in this weather is a challenge. Relax and just think of one run at a time in week 6. Youre comfortable and ready. You can and will do it. 😁❤️

[Caldarium]

Well done! I am a couple of weeks behind you but am already seeing the attitude change!

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Caldarium]

Fantastic!! You can do it 😊

[Karen376 Graduate]
