Thank you

[MandiV]

To everyone on here who has been so encouraging since I started this. My first run was on a cruise ship back in May and it took me 4 weeks to get to Week 2! I had terrible problems with gremlins telling me I couldn’t do it and wouldn’t be able to finish.

I’ve had some ups and downs and have had to go at the pace of my dicky knees, so slow to finish at the end but done! I’ve bought proper trainers and even some running kit.

I can do about 3.5 k in the 30 mins so I’m a way off 5 k. That’s my next aim - I must admit I have glanced at the bridge to 10K app but consolidation is my aim currently!!!

Fantastic Mandi- well done👏👏👏 Get up on that podium and enjoy every minute of your achievement. I’m with you in terms of consolidation- just going to carry on with week 9 for a while to try and get to 5k in 30 minutes. After that- who knows? But think how much fitter we’ll get in the process 😊

Congratulations 🍾🍾🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Congratulations Mandi. You showed those gremlins what you’re made of! The 5k will come, enjoy your onward journey.
