I did not like it. It was mean! I thought my days of being puce faced and nauseous were over! Alas this run disabused those delusions. I don’t think I can possibly slow down any further, I could actually be mistaken for a piece of luggage circling an airport conveyor belt collection thing.
Positive note: (because you should always end on a happy thought) I did not suffer the stitch Michael kept threatening me with and I completed it.
There are many different lessons to learn along the way, one is that some runs will be shitty but with a bit of determination and the knowledge that you've got through them before you will do it.
I'm trying to be like the little engine that could 'I think I can, I think I can'....
Oh bless you. I felt the same way this morning on W4R2. Scared about running Friday 😱😱
But I’m taking the fact that we still completed it as a positive thing. Which means we are both still amazing!!! 😊
Ahh the dreaded second run in the week! it's one I always seem to struggle with this early on. I'm facing it on Friday morning.
Well done completing it!!! You definitely are amazing! 
Yep considering where I started I'm definitely amazed I managed not one but two 5 minute runs! and those pesky 3 minute ones scattered in there. Even the better half who's had it easier up to now found it a trial today. Good days and bad days I guess
Thank you. If I wasn’t running through a forest I probably would have stopped!! Kept focusing on the trees ahead.
Dog didn’t help made it look 🤬 easy 🤷🏽♀️
Think I need a crappy running partner 🙄
I’ll be back running Friday
Let me know how you get on x
That's why I like running with no.1 son. He doesn't do fast.
That's why I find it a struggle to run with no.2 son. He's too quick.

#notthatyouhavefavourites 🤣😂🤣 no my athlete brother asked if he could run with me one day...I mostly think it’s to prove I’m not just sat on the sofa anymore. The Boy trains 7 days a week he cannot see me run!!! We are on polar opposites of the fitness spectrum! I’m a colossal blimp and he plays national 1 rugby and goes on international tours. It’s enough to scare me back to the couch. Not even lying. I can’t be a sweaty mess next to him and die after my interval training when he could run through the lot and not make a sweat. #inferiorsiblingcomplex
No favouritism... Just preference for running partner!
The numbering is a reflection of age order 😸
I wa being remarkably glib, I know most parents don’t have actual favourites.
No worries!
I find it amusing to borrow the phrase from old black and white Charlie Chan films..
If I'm lucky you won't have a clue what I'm on about...
Wow you can get your kids running?? I’d be happy if they left their rooms 😂😂
You're not wrong! Perhaps the future title for the plan will be 'Computer Desk to 5k' or 'Digital Device to 5k'
Ha I use tree markers when I have to get up a hill as my stopping points.
Your dog is mean, when I’m allowed a puppy (Duck won’t let me have one until we move into a downstairs flat ((currently an upstairs Tyneside flat)) which I resent because othe people have puppy’s) it will be the laziest puppy and will make me look fit as hell. I should probably clarify all dogs are puppies regardless of age and very clearly it would be a shelter puppy. No puppy will put us to shame when we are done!
If you are in the newcastle area you are welcome to join our struggle😃
All on for Friday catch up then!! X
That’s hilarious!! I think all dogs are puppies to!!
Yes Friday sounds like a good idea! I’ll bring the oxygen and the vodka 🍸
Vodka at 6am! Bold move. I’ll bring the gin and olives! Who needs vermouth any way! A post run martini 🍸 would make it a far more civilised affair!
Oh boy are you speaking to the wrong girl if you wanted civilised!!!
(Does the girl thing still carry an old lady through a conversation?)
Hahaha 😊! Congratulations and well done for completing it. I did week 4 run 3 today and it was definitely easier than the 1st run! Keep going 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Well done on completing week 4!! That is an amazing achievement 😀
That gives me hope for tomorrow
120kg and W4R1 complete
W4R1 Easier than I expected
W4R1...doom and gloomy
W4R1 - Colour me chuffed!
W4R1 done. I feel fantastic!
