I just ran 28 mins nonstop and welcomed Week8 with open arms in a lovely cooling drizzle.....ME!!! 🏃♀️💪😅
Toxic10 nearly had me.......almost gave up. But the remaining 18 mins went well......I totally rocked my "Move like a snail" mantra!!!🐌🐌🐌
I've started using my husband's old fitbit which tells me that I cover 3k in each run.....so I obviously have lots of consolidating to do to get to 5k.
But.....for now, I'm just going to have this big grin plastered on my face because I go running every alternate day and totally enjoy it too!!!😁😁😁
Forecast to cool down a bit.....which is a welcome relief all round.
Happy running, everyone!!!❤💙💚💜🧡💛

Yay for Hotheels! That's great! I hate the toxic 10 too, but once you get your head around the fact that it seems to happen every time it’s not quite so bad. Enjoy the rest of the week! 🏃♀️👏
Yes....that is exactly what I kept telling myself!!! Get through 10 and you'll be fine....and it's amazing how the legs simply start cooperating 11 mins onwards!!!! 😅😅
Never thought I'd enjoy it as much as I am.......who'd have thought, eh?
I can't yet see any obvious difference in my stamina levels....still feel out of breath when I climb lots of steps....but I can slow jog for 28 mins....that is progress for sure!!!!
Mr Endurance....I'm out to get you....lol!!!!😂😂😂
Jokes aside, couldn't have got this far without your steady support....egging me on!!!
I've also been reduced to wearing a very ugly old fitbit at your suggestion......look what you've made of me!!!! 😂😂😂😂
You are the one doing all the hard work, and don't underestimate how far you have come, I still get out of breath climbing lots of stairs, but we have both come a long way, can't wait to welcome you up to the podium once you graduate x
Ps still waiting to see you join the Strava community 😉
Brill, Hotheels! Very well done! You’re running at a similar pace to me (bit faster I think) but we don’t care. We wear our snail teeshirts with pride! 🙌🐌🙌
Really looking forward to the cool weather tomorrow. I’ll be out for my run early and it’ll be a novelty to potentially feel chilly! 😀❤️🏃♀️
Keep running with pride - not long to go now! Smash it! You definitely will. 🏃♀️👍🏻🏃♀️👍🏻
Too right!! We are......The Queen Snails!!!😊👑🐌 All that matters is we'reon the couch no more....and we're out running....and feeling our happiest when we are very red 🍅🍓🍎and have given our confused legs a good workout....🤣🤣🤣
Enjoy your cool run tomorrow!!!🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️......THE PODIUM is well in sight now!!! 😍
Well done. Everytime I run I come home grinning. I see another runner (a man ) who actually runs pulling a face that says he's in pain and hates running . I always want to stop him and ask him why he runs because his face tells me he hates it.
You're never going to look anything other than gorgeous no matter what face you pull!!!!!👸
But.....I get what you mean, totally!!!
I probably look like that man every time I succumb to pressure from my husband and go for a swim......I do not like it and do not enjoy it. I'm just not a "water" person........whilst my husband is in his element when he's in the water.
I'm a "solid ground" person......which would explain why I really love running; whilst my husband simply doesn't get running at any level....lol!!!😅😅
Maybe that poor bloke ought to try a different sport that he finds enjoyable.......😉
I can relate to this. My wife and kids love to go swimming. It does nothing for me, I am a swim if I need to stay afloat or get away from something bloke ! Running on the other hand is almost liberating at times, and in a strange way relaxing (at least mentally!)
Hey Hotheels that’s brilliant!! You did it! Don’t you worry the big grins continue after graduation too, even when you don’t run 5k!! So close now Hotheels! I’m excited for you!! 😁😁❤️
