Week 5 Run 3

[jessieb887]

Sorry for the stealth boasting that's on its way but I have only gone and done it 😲😆 I'm in shock but so bloody happy and proud it's a total mix of emotions going g on in there right now 😀

I took my eldest again he really is good motivation to keep up with him.

Yay Jessie! That’s a huge milestone in the programme. Long runs need hold no fear for you now 😀 We’ll done! 😀👍👏🏃‍♀️ Good luck with week 6!

I was pretty worried about it to be fair so opted for a flat/downhill run with not as many inclines as usual but I'm going to try and repeat it on my usual route

That photo should definately come with a 'good role model alert!' Bet that's one proud little boy, too! Well done - the 20 min run is definately a special one - keep it up!🙂🏃🏽‍♀️

[jessieb887 Graduate in reply to Sandraj39]

Thanks I hope he is im doing it for my 3 boys to be fair I want to be fitter and healthier for them 😀

[Sandraj39 Graduate in reply to jessieb887]

Exactly the same reason I did this programme too - although my boys are much older than yours! That was three years ago now and am still loving running!❤️🏃🏽‍♀️

[cheekychipmunks Graduate]

Well done Jessie! You’ve smashed the first landmark run of the programme, and doesn’t it feel epic? 👏👏👏👏

You need to take your son on every run as a mascot now, you realise! ❤️😀😀

[jessieb887 Graduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Ha possibly not sometimes a mummy's got to clear her head from the fun and games of motherhood 😆

[cheekychipmunks Graduate in reply to jessieb887]

Ahh yes of course! Mine are all grown, so I just take my dog for company! ❤️🐕🏃‍♀️

[jessieb887 Graduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

To be fair he is good company on his own, but when a mums had enough she's had enough lol x

Well done you! 👍 How are you people doing this? I have a complete mental block that I cannot run!

[jessieb887 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Just keep telling yourself you can do it, Jo Whiley told me to think like Dory just keep swimming, just keep swimming love it it works amazing 😀

[sallenson Graduate]

If you didn't have a good cry at the end, the rules say you have to run it over and over again until you do. For me it was the moment when I really knew I could finish the programme. I was in total bits at the end. "Bit of a sob" doesn't begin to describe it.

Well done you!!

(Mind W6, it's a sneaky b*stard. You think "Oh, walking, eh?" and then it gives you a big slap....)

[jessieb887 Graduate in reply to sallenson]

Why was run 1 so hard on week 6???? Exhausted 😴😣

[sallenson Graduate in reply to jessieb887]

Cos you're active for longer. 2 10 min runs and a brisk walk between all adds up. It always catches people out. Well done tho

[Jandys Graduate]

Brilliant! You should be proud

[jessieb887 Graduate in reply to Jandys]

Thanks it's a strange feeling to feel proud of yourself but I definitely am 😀

[Jude1963 Graduate]

Well done!!

[Agi74]

You go girl! That's my next run and the one I'm dreading, used to run couple miles years ago and here I am getting excited about a potential 20 minutes!

Love that you're a mom and still finding the time, keep on inspiring! 😁😁😁😁

[jessieb887 Graduate in reply to Agi74]

Thanks 😀 it wasn't half as bad as I expected it to be in all fairness I just zoned out and kept putting one foot in front of the other

[Agi74 in reply to jessieb887]

Lol i find that helps.

Here something I found sorry if it's been posted already

Congratulations. I thought it was an error when I saw the 20 minute run. It's an amazing feeling knowing the achievement and progress we've made. Keep going and beware W6 R1!!!!!!!!!

[Keasel Graduate]

Well done you. That is amazing. This run feels so good to complete.

As others have said beware the next week. Take it slow.
