Done it!!!!

[Crutty]

Am sooooo amazed and chuffed - just completed W1R1 - not as bad as I thought although not totally easy for me especially towards the last section but I DID IT!! Thanks to everyone on here for the words of encouragement!!!! 🏃🏃🏃🏃

Me too! First minute was the hardest for me so I just slowed the pace down and seemed to manage the following ones better. Hope you’re feeling as good as me?

[Crutty in reply to LancashireLass123]

I am chuffed to bits!! I was OK til the 2nd from last run but like you I just slowed it down and made it!! So are you doing next run on Monday? We should follow each other and get ourselves through it!!! Good for us eh?!!! XX

[LancashireLass123 Graduate in reply to Crutty]

I’m off to see my mum tomorrow but taking my kit with me. If I’m feeling good in the morning I may go first thing, otherwise Monday definitely! I’m about to hit 54 in a couple of weeks so feeling nervous about it all but I’ve “outed” myself on FB to friends and family that I’m doing this to make myself commit! Happy to buddy up on this adventure. We can do it! X

Omg that's so funny - we must be twins - listen to this - I am visiting my dad tomorrow and thought I'd take my gear and do it there - I am going to be 53 soon and I've also outed myself on Facebook as I thought it would make me do it!!! Ha!!! 😂

That's the hardest run over and done with!! Well done and keep going

[Crutty in reply to boniobiscuits]

Thank you!!! 😉

[Bandit14 Graduate]

Brilliant - well done - wk 1 is tough as it's a shock to the system -especially if like me you weren't very active beforehand😊

Keep going you'll be fab x

[Crutty in reply to Bandit14]

Think the last time I tried to run was about 20 years ago and that was more like a trot lol!!

[Pocket-rocket]

Well done you!!!

I’ve just started too, post knee surgery.

Can’t say I enjoyed it, but do feel good now it’s done!

Roll on Monday!

[Crutty in reply to Pocket-rocket]

I felt great when I got back - thought I'd have to fall into bed with a wet cloth on my forehead but seem to have given me an energy burst lol!! Keep in touch with progress!! Well done to you too!!

[Christene Graduate]

Well done you, you are on your way, take it easy, don’t forget to rest, but try not to have huge gaps in your schedule .. you’ve got this ... we are here to help keep you going ... 😊

[Crutty in reply to Christene]

Thank you!! I will do it again on Monday - I actually feel like I want to do it again now!!

[Preserved_Moose]

Sounds like you’re off to a good start, I was a mess after my first run! You’re going to have a great time doing this and you’ll feel amazing after each run, even the difficult ones

[Crutty in reply to Preserved_Moose]

Thanks!! Had expected to be a mess too but so far so good lol!! Prob be stiff as a board tomorrow!!
