W5R3 in a body bag - call an ambulance 🚑🚑

[Wolvesmad]

OMG I just ran for 20 mins 🏃‍♂️that's 2.5 times longer than it takes light to reach us from the sun 🌍🌝. My body is currently telling me that it no longer wants to be part of my life and that I need to pack and get out.

That was awesome and painful in equal measures (actually 60/40 in favour of pain) and I am now officially over 50% of the way.

I might go back to week 1 next week just to laugh at myself and how i moaned that I could never do it so why bother starting.

So if you are reading this and thinking it can't be done, well I am living (just) proof that it can.

I even spent next week's doughnut money on new plimsols 👟👟on tuesday so this man is not for turning.

Onwards and upwards week 6 here I come (as soon as I can stand up again)

Good luck with all your runs this week 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Remember If I can do it anyone can

Too funny 😂

Great job... enjoy week 6 if you make it though the night.

Oh and if you think you may take to trails too that needs different shoes and you don’t need the week after’s doughnuts either!!

[Wolvesmad Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Not buying any more shoes they're too expensive. Do you realise you can buy 690 jam (other flavours are available) doughnuts 🥞 for the same money. That's enough cake to last me nearly a month

[Tartancat Graduate in reply to Wolvesmad]

So that's 23 doughnuts a day? I could do that!

[Ibot]

[Wolvesmad Graduate in reply to Ibot]

I'm not amazing just determined but thanks for the very kind words. It helps to spur me on

[Ibot in reply to Wolvesmad]

You are doing more than amazing! Great stuff! Great work!

Good luck on week 6 after proper rest and relax. My W5R3 tomorrow - keep your fingers crossed for me

[Wolvesmad Graduate in reply to IgaT]

You can do it girl. Like me tonight it was only the gremlins trying to stop me.

Look forward to your milestone celebration 🍹🍹🍹tomorrow

You got this

Ps last 4 mins feels like an hour . Just saying so you can get your head on

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Wolvesmad]

I have my gear prepared, I've downloaded new tune (Podrunner), and I have a route that I've tried on Wednesday. I am exhausted, and had a shorter nights fore few days as well as 3 days oblonger working days. But I know I am doing well with challanges when I can conquer obstacles and show myself that I am stronger than that. So, even though my will to go out and do whatever is almost nonexistent, I hope (believe?) that regardless I will go out and complete it. I have no idea where will I take strength and mental power from. Yesterday, I felt asleep on the floor in kind of child pose while waiting (<5min) for my partner to come and help me with something at home. The good news is it's Friday! I have free weekends, so only housework, chores, and computer work, and hopefully a lot of sleep.

Well done! I love the thought of doughnut money! I hope you have a Krispy Kreme piggy bank!

[Wolvesmad Graduate in reply to musicalpolarbear]

I do it's called my tummy. I love making deposits lol

[Unfit83]

Well done keep up the good work I will be doing that run on Monday not looking forward to it lol

[Wolvesmad Graduate in reply to Unfit83]

You can do it. It's all in your head now. The hard work has already been done. Just need to push yourself. I slowed the pace down slightly

[Unfit83 in reply to Wolvesmad]

I did it the whole 20 mins slightly slower than I normally go but I did it so proud of myself and my other half that has been doing it with me thanks for all the support and encouragement x

[lusmo Graduate]

Well done!
