So I guess you have all seen Mary Poppins and the Wizard of Oz
Well today was nothing like that 😂😂 but it could have been 😳😳
I ran!! Which is good otherwise I’m in the wrong place 😜
It spat at me and I even got hit by a heavy leaf. 🤪
But today ....... I actually ran for 😳😳 20 minutes!!
I know right me!!!
Mouse was both shocked and confused 🐕 he wondered what had happened to his mum
Be safe out there it is pretty windy 💨🌪
Forgot to say Week 5 Run 3
Well done Ibot for running continuously for 20 minutes on run Week 5 Run 3, we all knew it was that run when you mentioned 20 minutes in your post. You have a lovely dog.
You are far smarter than me!! This is obviously why you are a graduate and I am a mere couch 🤷🏽♀️😘
You are no longer and NOT a couch Ibot, the fact that you have ran the 20 minutes of W5R3 proves that you are now over halfway of your C25K journey to graduating and running the full 30 minutes of W9R3 🏃
Do you know that scares the 💩 out of me!! This whole process is like a whirlwind ☺️
Just take your runs slow and steady, no need to rush anything😊
Always. It’s the only thing I’m slow at
Do you think that one day a switch goes and you can then do a Forest Gump ?
Of course a switch will go and in your words "do a forest Gimp" Tom Hanks, yes you could suddenly find that running is fun😊😊🏃🏃just take off, it is very important to keep exactly to the program, no harm if you wish to repeat a week.
So far I’ve done every one. My only problem is the little voices in my head 🤷🏽♀️
☺️
Probably shouldn’t admit to hearing voices 😂😂
Those "voices" are what they call here on C25K gremlins, they could be in your head, or any other parts niggling away telling you to stop running, ignore them and tell them to (bleep) off, go run. 🏃 🏃 🏃 😊😊😊
Thank you sweetie
Yes Ibot, we have had a bit of a chat today, been nice 'speaking' to you.😊 My plan for the weekend is on Saturday morning to run🏃 my third 5k, the first was last Saturday morning when I ran it in a time⌚ of 34.21. The second one was on Wednesday morning with a time of 33.40. Two slightly different courses, the first one which I ran last Saturday starts just 10 minute's warm up walk from where I live, the only roads there are, are two quite 'dead end roads' leading into a new housing estate which at the end of the road has a path but no through road through a small wood which at the bottom of a small incline leads to a underpass under a main road, this then continues into another row of new houses around a playground. After that my 5k route is all off road around a Loch and though more woods, at this part the course trees are so thick that some wild animal might attack you, however, all I have seen are some roe deer.
The second 5K that I ran on Wednesday starts 25 minute walk away from where I live, this is the exact same 5K route as an officially run 5K race which takes place every year on the first week of December, it is known as the Cumbernauld Christmas Cracker 5K dash. I ran round that course last Wednesday in a time of 33.40.
On Sunday morning I am going to a Coffee Concert in Glasgow, this is a concert of classical music followed by cakes and a cup of coffee
Sorry for the long post but I have had a good day and am in the mood for writing😀
I do my w5r3 tomorrow 9am.
I'll just have to get wet again 😸☔👟👟👟👟👟😸
Omg I totally believe in you!! You can do it!! If that fails then B & Q it 😂😂😂
Please let me know how you get on
Lol, I ran this morning as well, very windy. My dog also looks at me as if I have lost the plot, he runs at ease and I.. bright red in the face,heavy breathing and repeatedly saying come on we can do this!!! 😂 Feels great though 😀
Way to go! Well done Ibot 👏👏👏 and MM 🐶👍
Hope you are very proud of your amazing achievement Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
xxx
Thank you chicken! We are both very proud of our achievement.
Did you get the mouse?
🤬 kitten woke me at 4 again 🤬🤬🤬
Do you want a kitten? 😜
I know the feeling of being slapped by the leaf. It surprisingly hurts.
Well done to you and Mouse. He looks really happy 
I hope you too look so happy.
I’ve never been very good at selfies 😂😂 where as mouse is far more photogenic 😊
How are you getting on
I'm terrible with selfies as well, I think I didn't develop this skill 
My dog is too fidgety to make her a photo so only still nature for me. Too be fair probably still nature is also a bit shaky blurr on my photos, as my hands are definitely too shaky after a run
I am doing fine slowly and steadily forward
I always thought you were a whole lotta awesome Ibot 🌟💙
Huge well done thats fab running!
Oh Thundersloth thank you!!
How’s you getting on
Yes good thanks Ibot 👍 so looks like the running is going very well indeed! Do you feel more confident now you’ve cracked the 20 mins? Have you told that ambulance driver he doesn’t need to follow you around anymore...🚑 Hope your ears are feeling better this week too 🙉
😂😂 funny story in there which I can’t say on here which is a shame 😂😂
Tbh I’m still in shock that I can run. Like genuinely 🤷🏽♀️
It’s almost like it’s happening to someone else
Hearing is improving. Got consultant appointment for next month but really hoping work will let me back on Friday 🤞 not worked for a month 😱😳😱😳
So have you been doing any advertising for any other companies? I hear there is bakery that could use some cakes being sold 😂😂😈😈
intriguing! cant believe you're not going to tell me the funny story 🤐🤨 Surely there wasn't really an ambulance driver...WAIT!... are you an ambulance driver...!!! 😂
That's brilliant glad to hear the running is going so well that's fantastic you're a natural. Glad the hearing is improving too, can't believe it's been so long! That must be very difficult with work, nice to have the time off but pretty awkward too 😬
I have been flogging the Nike Run Club app pretty hard lately that's my latest thing... You should try it 😉
Maybe if I can get enough recruits for them I'll get some Nike sweat bands or other merchandise... I could definitely use the sweatbands 😅
Tell me about the App. I want something to tell me speed and distance 😂
Nike Run Club is perfect. It’ll track your distance give you an overview of your pace and even make you a cup of tea if you ask nicely ☕️The guided runs are good too, you can listen to famous runners etc talk to you through you run and motivate you, UNM got me on to it, give it a go! (...One step closer to those Nike sweatbands...)
What if you are more of a coffee drinker?
Right I have downloaded it. So there will be three things opened tomorrow when I go 🏃♀️
I’ll let Nike know of this advertising you are doing on their behalf!! I do believe they need all the help they can get 😳😳
I know it gets a bit app tastic... but you can link your Spotify account with the Nike app if that helps at all... 😳
It was wild on the Cheshire Lines path too. Last 5 minutes was a toughie
Where is that?
I wonder how many of us are concussed after being practically murdered by leaves 🍁
Well done 👍 I’m a week behind you and actually looking forward to 20mins after reading all the positive posts 😳
Well done you!! Being positive is a really good thing for this process
I was very nervous!! Even when running I didn’t think someone like me could do!!
I guess I was wrong ☺️
I'm now a runner! 😲😊🤗🤣
No longer obese, its a great feeling
Felt like a runner!
No Longer Dry
No longer a park run virgin!
