Week 6 run 1

[Bandit14]

Done - but not easily and totally my own fault

Despite being a relatively intelligent woman and after reading plenty of posts from people who had not found this one easy after run 3 last week. I set off for the first 5 mins - brain thinking yeah this is cool maybe need to upgrade our faithful snail to something a bit quicker - after all it's only 5 mins - you did 20 on Sat.

So my brains choice of step up from snail was to unleash the gazelle. Not as comfy as snail but ok - till sensible part of my brain gets a wake up call with Laura saying you've done 2.5 minutes. Really???? OMG I was proper feeling tired already.

Rescue plan put into action - gazelle shoved firmly back in box and kissed and made up with snail for abandoning it. I may have to grovel for a while.

Rest of run passed reasonably smoothly but legs felt much heavier all the way round.

Lesson learned 😁

Yep - guilty of major muppetry- have the dogs to walk aswell so extra punishment for being a smart ass😁

Tee hee 😁

You’ll be jogging with the dogs before too long. I only started C25k because of a dawg. Not even my dog! 🙄. So glad I did though

Keep going. Taking care, going really slowly. You always have some slower in you 🙂.

It’s right fun! 😃👍

Love it... well done for getting through. 3 minutes at 100% effort floors the best athletes. Snail to gazelle is a huge jump... you missed tortoise! Glad you made up with your inner snail 😂

[Bandit14 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I could prob have managed tortoise - having said that my gazelle is probably someone else's 3 legged hyena😂

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Bandit14]

You can unleash the tortoise a lot later! And we will have to look into a prosthetic for that hyena.

Happy running.

Gazelles get eaten.... snails can hide..

You are completely forgiven by the Snails club here on the forum... We 'shell' overcome

Well done you!

Slow and steady wins the race. Well, maybe not, but doesn't end up in A and E with shin splints and groin strain!
