Early morning run 🀩

β€’25 Replies

I’ve surprised myself this week & found a new passion for early morning running πŸ™ŒπŸ‘Œ

I’m well in to week 9 now... 2 runs down, 1 to go πŸ˜†πŸ™Œ

I’ve really enjoyed this week so far, I’m not sure what’s happening to me, but I’ve ran two 5ks this week πŸ€©πŸ™Œ I’ve been a little naughty & gone over the 30 mins, but I’ve taken it extremely slow & steady. I haven’t had to push myself to run for longer, it’s just kinda happened πŸ™ƒ

Before I started this week I’d been having a few debates with myself... what happens after week 9, will I actually stick to 3 runs a week?... yeah I think I will... but in reality will I? πŸ™ˆπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

This went on for a while 🀣 So I’ve decided to join Juju’s plan & go for 10k straight after graduation πŸ˜†πŸ™ŒπŸ‘Œ

I’m feeling excited to start! & I know it’ll definitely keep me focused throughout the winter months!

Roll on Wk9 R3! I’m ready for you πŸŽ‰πŸ€©πŸ’ͺπŸ™Œ

Oh it’s so close one now πŸ˜ƒ. Good luck with your final run of the programme πŸ˜πŸ‘

It’s getting slippery outside now first thing so take care πŸ˜ƒ

Thanks Misswobble! I’m looking forward to the final run πŸ˜†πŸ™Œ

It was quite slippery this morning, especially on the fallen leaves 🍁 Take care too if you’re out & about early! πŸ€©πŸ‘

Loving those crisp sunny morning runs, good on you Dreams!

I find my legs feel less heavy in the morning too πŸ˜ƒ

Well then... one run left for you now! When are you doing it...on Halloween?!

A spooky graduation run!!!

Ooh! good for you for signing up that's great! Hmmm... when does it start???

I was in two minds because I did also fancy that race plan that UNM's doing...

But now you've gone and signed up I might have too...πŸ˜† Decisions! decisions!!!

Nice one on pushing to 5K too that's great!!! πŸ™ŒπŸ‘πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

Thank you! ... Loved it out there this morning, I felt great too! πŸŒ€β„οΈπŸ™Œ

Yes Halloween... not sure if I should graduate in trainers or on a broomstick... might get a 30min 5k if I go for broomstick πŸ§™β€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚

Ooh it’s decision time Thundersloth πŸ˜† πŸ™ƒπŸ™Œ

The plan starts on 2nd November, Of course It’d be ace if you sign up!... nudge nudge, πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰

Gotta say tho, the plan UNM is doing looks pretty cool too!

So whichever one you choose, you’ll be winning! 🀩

Yes definitely πŸ˜ƒ We’ve got a house in the Dordogne and a VW Camper, which we will finally get to use a bit more now that I’ve scaled back on the work front!

It isn’t one of the β€˜classics’ just a T5 but it’s great.

in reply to Sandie1961

Sounds amazing, I’d be in my element!... πŸ™ŒπŸ‘Œ

Hi Sandie, it’s great you’ve signed up! I’m sure we’ll all be able to help each other through this! I’m excited to get started 🀩 I really hope I’ve got what it takes to do it!🀞

As Thundersloth said we should complete it around Christmas time, how amazing will that be! πŸ™Œ

Considering that 6 months ago I couldn't imagine running 5k and now we’re going to be running 10k, how mad does that seem? Bring it on πŸ˜ƒ

in reply to Sandie1961

Me too!... we’re doing incredible things! πŸ€©πŸ™ŒπŸ‘Œ

in reply to

I think you should at least wear scary face paint and use the 'Zombie Run' app on your graduation day... that would be bloody hilarious!

in reply to

Hahaaa, can you imagine!!!

Never say never & all that...

... goes to google zombie run app πŸ˜±πŸ§Ÿβ€β™€οΈ

Well done! Well see each other on ju-jus Magical 10, but I will be joining after about 2 weeks of consolidation runs, as I haven't done my 5k, not yet.

So happy for your easy, early morning 5ks :)

in reply to IgaT

Thanks IgaT, look forward to running together in the next stage of our adventure! Not long now for you, enjoy your last runs! πŸ˜†πŸ’ͺπŸ™ŒπŸ‘Œ
