I’ve just managed a week 3 run. It’s only the second time I’ve tried one. Is this the same person who took nine weeks to conquer week 1 ? Hardly know myself 😄

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Great work... now you’re rocking it. Keep smiling and enjoy run 2

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Wobbling more than rocking, methinks !😁

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Call it what you will, you’re doing great.

[Shelley2310 Graduate]

Yayyyy....well done ✅ you’re doing amazing. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Shelley2310]

Thanks Shelley. See you’re on to week 4 ! Go you ! ⭐️

[Shelley2310 Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

I know!! Bit scary thought of running 16 mins without dying!! 🏃‍♀️😱🏃‍♀️😱

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Shelley2310]

You won’t die - you’ll get there ! Looking forward to that excited post when you do x

[Shelley2310 Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Tuesday if I haven’t posted then I’m dead!! But if I struggle I’ll post that too....just so you know I’m alive! Lol

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Shelley2310]

One way or another - isn’t there a song about that ?!

[Sunshineandelephants]

That’s fantastic! Congratulations basically 1/3rd of the way through the programme now!!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Sunshineandelephants]

Got to finish week 3 first - two more runs for that.

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Go, go, go you!!!!!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Congratulations BCK on running run 2 of week 3, you really are progressing very quickly but don't run too fast, slow and steady is the name of the game, onwards and upwards to run 3 of week 3, if you wish to repeat week 3, that is perfectly OK. 😊👌🎄🎅

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Go you! Massive well done to you! Slow and steady as you go... give yourself time to compose some more Winter Words for us all to enjoy xxx

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Funny you should say that . . . 😄

[Oldishrunner Graduate]

Sounds more like the real you. Well done- I'll be watching out for you.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Oldishrunner]

Thank you !

[Alan1004 Graduate]

Well done on W3 run I’m now on W8r1 and must admit I’m amazed that I’ve managed thus far ! The structure of the programme is really good and as others said to me ‘believe in the programme’! I had to repeat Week 1 so it does work !

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Alan1004]

I’ve had to repeat everything several times ! Delighted to be doing fewer repeats now 😄

[bluepanda Graduate]

Fantastic!! Well done 👍 it doesn’t matter how long it takes, just that you are going out and doing it.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to bluepanda]

Thanks BP. Nothing for it but to persevere 😄

[Nita49 Graduate]

Sorry I've been out of the loop for abit, so just catching up...

Fantastic news, am sure you have got in another run (or two) since posting this.

Your doing just great 👍

👏🏃‍♀️

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Nita49]

Thanks Nita. Just finished week 3, and looking forward to week 4 in the snow ⛄️😄

[Nita49 Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Oh that's fantastic! (not the snow part ❄️😔)

Great feeling starting another week isn't it 👍

I'll keep a look out for the updates.

Xx

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Nita49]

Feeling a little unnerved at the moment, since week 4 steps up the running from 9 minutes to 16 ! Scary concept ! But I’ll keep whittling away at it and I’ll get there in the end 😁 How’s it going for you just now ?

[Nita49 Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Totally understand that feeling, but my advice would be, to try not to over think it, and just see it as another run.

When I completed the first ever run I thought I'm never going to be able to get through this, but I have.... And so have you, your about to start Wk 4! 😁

You know its not about speed, it's finding a steady pace that suits you, and it's irrelevant how many times, you may need to repeat a run, or week. This is about you and nobody else 👍

As for me.... Well I'm on Wk9 (seriously can't believe it).

The first run was good, second no energy so repeated it again, and it was much better.

So just one more run 😲....

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Nita49]

Magic ! Enjoy that victory lap 😄
