A promise is a promise

[ButtercupKid]

Said I’d have a go at it by end of day Tuesday - and I’ve done it, against a rose and amber sunset and a malfunctioning bird scarer ! Goodbye, week 6 😄

[Phoenix_flames21 Graduate]

Yay!!!! Go you!!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Glad you are feeling better.. and what a wonderful image I now have of you... the rose, the sunset...and the bird scarer... amazing!!!!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

It wasn’t bothering the birds but it sure scared me ! Still, I suppose all the jumps and nervous twitches are exercise too 😁

[Shelley2310 Graduate]

Yayyyy, you’re flying along now. Bring on w7!! Happy running 🏃‍♀️🍾🥂

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Shelley2310]

Thanks Shelley ! Glad to be back 😀

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

You make me smile.

Keep running, keep me smiling!!!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Thanks IT. Wouldn’t be this far without your good advice x

[Wimborne]

Ah BCK that’s just the best news..... goodbye week 6 👋 ( me waving goodbye). Week 7 awaits you. Go get them BCK. so proud of you 😊. Almost weeping now .....

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Wimborne]

Ahh ! You’re almost as much of a softie as I am, Wimborne. Looking forward to week 7. Never thought I’d say that 😄

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Congratulations BCK, you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER, well done on completing week 6, wonderful news that you can now run continuously for 25 minutes, onwards and upwards to week 7 which sees another 3/25 minute runs 🏃.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I know the programme says I’m a runner, but I think I’ll always be a person who runs; there’s a difference in my mind. Thanks for your encouragement, AlMorr. I’ve named part of my usual running area the AlMorr Loop in your honour x

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

O that's so sweet of you Buttercupkid, part of your running area you have named 'the AlMorr Loop', thank you very much.

Take a few days off before continuing with run 1 of week 7, the weather is to become a bit colder, especially in your part of the world, so keep warm when on your runs.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks AlMorr. Wrap up well yourself when you’re out ! I’ve named several different places round here after folk on the forum now, and I couldn’t possibly leave you out. The AlMorr Loop is particularly useful because it’s near a road and so lit by streetlights, so if I have to run very early or very late, that’s where I go x

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Fantastic! You’re gonna love week 7 for sure!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Sounds remarkably like running 6:3 another three times to me ! If I’ve done it once, I can do it again - and again - and again 😄

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Absolutely and it’s so good to know you can do it at the start... really good strengthening week too.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Sounds like it. Quite pleased to have a chance to consolidate. I thought I might get bored with no walking breaks to look forward to, so I’ve uploaded Strava. Did just over 2.4k today, including warm up and cool down, which isn’t bad with my short legs and gives me a fresh target to whittle away at gradually !

[ktsok Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

There are similarities! Brilliant news, well done BCK, so pleased you are recovered and back on the road

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to ktsok]

Thanks ktsok ! Glad to be back 😄

[cheekychipmunks Graduate]

Fan-tas-tic BK! You rock, you just ran for 25 minutes and that’s a monster achievement. W7 awaits - 3 more of the same. Yours for the taking! 👊

Well done you! 👏👏👏👏

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thanks CCM ! How’s it going for you ?

[molly1973 Graduate]

Fantastic, Buttercup! You have done so well to come back from illness and keep chugging through those weeks: you’re really flying now! Enjoy week 7 x

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to molly1973]

Thanks Molly. Really pleased with how it went today, and the sky was lovely 😊

[johnt46 Graduate]

Well Done!! Keep at it, at your pace, looking forward to congratulating you on the finish line🤗

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to johnt46]

Thanks johnt . Starting to believe I could really get there this year 😄

[lexi6 Graduate]

Congratulations BcK, all the best for week 7 🙂

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to lexi6]

[SaskAlliecat Graduate]
