Celebrating 4 months here with you amazing people by pounding 6:2 into submission. It didn’t go down easily, but it’s gone. Farewell walking intervals, my faithful friends - I’m going to miss you so much x

Look at you... you're on your way

4 months running...here to stay

The long runs beckon, what a treat

Time to test those running feet

Just relax, and let it flow...

Still remembering steady... slow.

Smooth and gentle, a smile on your face

Those legs will find their Happy Pace.

You've done so well, with every run

So, on you go and just have fun!

Just flabbergasted really ! I’ve named a small hill I often go over in your honour. Reminds me not to slide down it 😁

Fantastic, well done BCK. The days and weeks are flying by (even if we aren’t yet!), aren’t they? I guess your walks will still be waiting for you at the beginning and end of runs, and on rest days 🙂

You’re right Lysol. I’ll just have to treasure the cooldowns even more 😄

I didn’t say Lysol - I don’t even know what that is ! I said ktsok ! Ridiculous predictive text 😡😄

A fond farewell to walks BCK, so happy to see you progressing so well.

The first week of C25K took you 9 weeks, the second 3 weeks and I think you repeated week 3 once, after that you have done so well that no runs or week's need to be repeated, excellent. Onwards and upwards to the run which will make you "officially" a runner, run 3 of week 6.

ButtercupKidGraduate in reply toAlMorr

9 for week 1, 3 for week 2, a single run repeated in week 3, and half a run in week 4. Weird pattern but it seems to be working !

Yay!!! I am also past the walking runs, week 7 Run 2 next, it’s not easy but I’m staying at the slowest pace I possibly can for the time being! Good luck!! Xx

ButtercupKid profile image
ButtercupKidGraduate in reply toRunnerLCA

It’s still questionable whether I run or walk faster ! But as long as we’re still moving, who cares ?!!

RunnerLCAGraduate in reply toButtercupKid

Yes Definitely!! Slow and steady wins the race at they say! 👌🏻

Hi BCK, happy anniversary!!! 🎉🎊🍾 Great to see your progress!!! 💪👏👏

Walking intervals are a strange thing: we go from loving and craving desperately for them to dreading the thought of succumbing to one at some point. Weird evolution 🤔!!!!

Happy running!!

ButtercupKid profile image
ButtercupKidGraduate in reply toWhatnog

I’ll look forward to that evolution 😄
