Amazing end to week 6!

I was so excited to post last night and the app kept crashing!!!!! But here it is...

Had my usual 8 minutes to settle into the run then all was good after that!! As I approached the end my voice coach said ‘guess what?’ I just assumed I was finished but he said there is 60 seconds to go, run faster if you want-so I did with a huge smile!!! Loved it!

Run 1 and run 2 wasn’t without its issues but they were definitely there to prepare me for run 3 and it was so worth it!

I wore different socks and changed my route-because they say a change is as good as a holiday-I’m note sure what today’s success is a credit to but I’m just so happy I feel this way after a run again!!! Really looking forward to the next few weeks and the longer runs 😃

Yayaayyy Marcia, another smashed run in the bag! And another lovely smiley pic! 😀🏃‍♀️😀

You’re well on your way to the podium now - only fabulous long runs left to go, and no intervals to interrupt you. Can’t wait to hear all about them!

Love your ducks/geese (my waterfowl knowledge has failed me this morning 🦆🦆😅)

They are swans! Lots of swans-over 20!!!! They keep coming into the pavement beside me!!

Can quite believe my post has a reply saying I’m on my way to the podium-I’m used to reading others saying this and now it’s me!!! It’s gone so fast but I feel I’ve really achieved something!

This was even better than week 5, 20 minute run! Can’t wait for the long uninterrupted runs now!

Ha! Swans are just geese with long necks so you were nearly right!!! 😜

Love love love that I’m this far-feels so good 😊

Woohoo! I’d say that the success is a credit to the hard work you’ve put in following a very good plan... well done. You’ve got this now, all running and tiny steps up.

Thank you! It definitely helps being in the forum-I can see how many people would just give up after a bad day and not realise it’s just a blip and actually a way forward to the next run, and a good run at that!!!
