Morning

So to turn things on there head we put on an Australian accent and ran with my friend from work

So already Mouse runs laps around me. But now I had the added pressure of bloke from work ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Ok negatives

He goes to the gym daily

He is mega fit

He is taller than me ๐Ÿค” ( think Iโ€™m grasping at straws)

He ran faster

He must be part gazelle ๐Ÿฆ

Positive

I ran

I ran for 25 minutes- he said I jogged ๐Ÿ˜ก I punched him ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

I completed it

Ok so not many positives ๐Ÿ™„

But itโ€™s done.

Iโ€™ve missed running, bloody work getting in the way

Canโ€™t run now till probably Thursday as start nights tonight ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

How are you all doing!! I feel like Iโ€™m going to be doing this program forever

Sounds all positive to me. Run done... you didnโ€™t get tempted to go too fast and run out of gas... and you got to punch him! Canโ€™t get better than that surely? Great job.

Well done Ibot! Especially with the added pressure of running with someone. I'd have punched him too ;) Yay that's your second 25 min run though! doesn't matter how long it takes, you're doing great, the finish line is in sight :) then it's bridge to 10k ;)

It's a great programme..why rush it...๐Ÿ˜‰

Gazelles get eaten...

You run regularly..he was doing it as a one off..and may have been trying hard..

If you weren't walking..you were running..

Punching him gave your arm work out..

Stress was relieved too..

A total win win scenario..

Go You !!!

Thank you floss

I did tell him at one point I was a tortoise ๐Ÿฒ

But no I didnโ€™t give up just took it steady and let him run off and play with mouse ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

He deserved that punch! I called myself a jalker, then a jogger, but Laura called me a runner last week so that's what I am! Well done on getting through it and yep it feels like I've been at it forever too, but just 3 weeks to go and the runs are into single figures now ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Do you work at a Gym? I always thought it would be good to have a friend called Jim ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿคญ

Thankfully I do not work at a gym but we have a small, somewhat dilapidated one on site. I don't have a friend called Jim either ๐Ÿค”

You've just finished another run, and if my math is good out have only 8 runs left! For sure it won't take you forever, and not longer than me :P so cheer up and enjoy your next run on Thursday. Be proud of finishing another run! You are brave! I am too insecure to run with anybody else than my dog :P

Ibot profile image
Ibotโ€ข in reply toIgaT

Tbh it did put me off. I had at one point the gremlins on my shoulder telling me how crap I was for not keeping up with my mate ๐Ÿ˜”

But then I thought 7 weeks ago I couldnโ€™t have run at all so thought feck it ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ

You are doing more than amazing!!! With shift work, night shifts, long shifs... I am in awe for your running routine and being so far in the program already!

I am happy that you told those gremlins what you think :)

Ibot profile image
Ibotโ€ข in reply toIgaT

Oh you know me I kicked arse ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Wish all my other gremlins were that easy to get rid of ๐Ÿ˜œ

Treat them the same as those. We became a very good gremlins-ass-kickers! New C25K commercial? Join us and become super gremlins-ass-kicker! ;D

Now you know how to do it - apply in all areas of your life! You can do.it! You can run, so you can do it as well!

Ibotโ€ข in reply toIgaT

Brilliant!!! Love it!!!

Iโ€™ll try

Well done for getting yourself out there with Mr Muscle ๐Ÿ’ช today Ibot I wouldn't have the guts go out running with a gym buff yet (...or ever). Another 25 minute run is in the bag! ๐Ÿ˜Good job to Mouse too ๐Ÿถ

You're being a bit tough on yourself there, not only have you been ill you also work very tough long shifts, so as IgaT said just 8 runs left of C25K... enjoy them all, in your own time.

We'll all be watching you graduate in no time at all and I can't wait to see you cross that line xxx ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
