Hi everyone ☀️

So after a week off (no excuse...just busy) I have just completed Week 4 Run 1 😀

I actually laughed when she said "ok you're halfway" because my legs were killing me but I did it!! Never jogged for a full 5 minutes before so proud of myself that I jogged for 16mins overall yay!! It's getting easier but I'm still hot, red faced & my legs are so tight haha! Xx

Nice going Lauren! You didn’t let your legs win - you told them to keep going and stop whining. Good for you! 👏👏👏 You’ll be getting stronger and fitter with each run you do, and you know you can complete this programme don’t you? We’re all behind you, cheering you on! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️😀😀

Next stop, R2. You’ve got this! 🙌💪🏻😀🏃‍♀️

You have the right attitude for sure! The fact you didn’t give in to the gremlins means you know you can do it again. Gremlin slaying is a great skill to have - and you have it! 😀

I graduated on August 10th (the date is etched in my mind, I was so proud!) and this weekend is my first parkrun! So excited! 🏃‍♀️😀🏃‍♀️😀🏃‍♀️

Good luck to you - keep posting with your amazing progress! 👍🏻👍🏻

Yay well done!! I was so close to stopping on the second 5min jog but didn't want to have to repeat it so kept going 😂

Woohoo!😀

You are so not alone. I look like an emergency beacon this evening. It was hard but I finished it.
