W5R3 and smiling

I can’t believe I actually ran for 20 minutes!!!!

5 weeks ago I was pleading with Sarah “when are you going to tell me to stop “ on a 60 second run. Unbelievable.

I have to say without everyone’s inspirational posts and good wishes I honestly don’t think I would of carried on. Special thanks to iannodaTruffe for the week 5 myth busters I read before I left the house 😀 I was making excuses not to go then by chance I read the post. I practiced the gurning 🤪 took a deep breath then went for it!!! Yippee.

And now I’m home with a huge smile.

C25K is a minor miracle! Simply amazing how it works. Brilliant stuff- you’re more than half way through now. The last few weeks are a marvel!

It really is a minor miracle 😀

Told you so!!!

Well done, and glad the post helped.

Now to hang onto all that belief, but just take the next run nice and steady.........it catches many out.

Congratulations Yoyo2019, you deserve to have a huge smile, run 3 of week 5 is a milestone run with C25K. Onwards and upwards to week 6 but as IannodaTruffe says be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks 🚶 and runs 🏃

Thanks for the lovely kind words and advice Almorr. I try to take one week at a time and try not to know what’s coming next😀. It’s the only way for me, that way I don’t make even more excuses not to continue 😀. Plus I like surprises.
