What is your week August week 3

[Realfoodieclub]

Good morning and hello there. This month it is my turn to bring us all together in the what is your week chats. I can see we have really grown since the last time I did this, it is great to see so many new faces. I thought the quote below as very apt to how I used to feel going through the program I was so eager to feel like a runner it was my main motivation. Now I am a runnner and I love it.

We are growing so much at the moment and we wanted to have a little fun post ,so we can see who is on what week of the programme, and hopefully it will help everyone to feel more included on the forum.

Please remember it doesn't matter if you stay on the same week for a while, that is fine; it is a journey and it really doesn't matter how long it takes, it will be so worth it when you get to the final run.

If you have just graduated, this will be a great place to keep you motivated, there is always the Quest on the Bridge to 10k forum as well for graduates.

I will add all the names from this week under this post. Every week for the month of August the names will roll over into another post.

Let's get a good list going so we can support each other.

(Come on you lurkers, you can do it as well. ?)

Hi,

I am just starting week 8, (well will be in about 4 hours).

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Week 3 for me. Week 4 my daughter.

Congratulations to all of the new graduates, I think I got most of you live, sorry if I missed anybody.

Welcome to all newbies, as above if I missed your first posts.

Every single person here inspires me.

The ones who graduated long ago and stuck around to help and answer our doubts

The ones graduating and wondering where next.

The ones just closing this out.

The ones hitting those “impossible” 20 minute plus runs most of us fear/feared.

The ones just struggling through those first few runs. Well done guys, that couch has a wonderful hug and holds you tight when you try to leave it.

You’re all my heroes... hope you can all also be the heroes in your own stories... happy running one and all.

[KN25 Graduate]

I am 1 week post-graduation so current plan to consolidate by continuing to run 30 minutes 3 times a week.

[Jundal Graduate]

Just graduated! Where's the thread where I get a badge?

[limberlou Graduate in reply to Jundal]

Type August graduates in the search bit

[MVBrown Graduate]

I am enjoying it. Today I have completed week 5 run 1 and so have two more runs to complete the week. Before moving on to week 6.

[emily-m Graduate]

Hello there. Week 3 for me, first run done yesterday. 😊

[Hidden]

I finished week 8 yesterday.

[Reverie1 Graduate]

Hi there, I’ve just finished week 3, and just got around to looking on the forums here which have really helped me feel motivated and part of something good! Thanks for the welcome : ) I’m new to this - had a couple of patches of trying to run for 20 mins every day in the past but just ended up having to stop because of knee/joint pains. So far so good on this programme..I’d love to make it to 5k and am enjoying the challenge!

[Hatetoloverun Graduate]

Week 4 for me, next week I start week 5

[MindBodyAndSoul]

Hi Week 2 run 3 for me today. So far so good. I've tried this before and have up so easily but I really am motivated this time and miss not being out on my rest days. Thoroughly enjoying it 😊

[Clarefromclare Graduate]

Starting week 9 tomorrow 😱

[ObiJo]

Week three started today. A week behind after a week away where I did several hours of hilly forest walks a day but skipped the runs despite taking my running gear. Hopefully back on track now.

[Redtracey Graduate]

Hi I finished week 8 yesterday! So start week 9 tomorrow so I should have this in the bag by the weekend 😱😱 - my hip has been a bit sore overnight but still hoping to plod on - can’t quite believe I have got this far!!

[Matilda2903 Graduate]

Week 7, run 3 tomorrow. 😁
