Grinning from ear to ear!

I’ve only gone and done it! W9r3 done! I can’t stop grinning, I am so proud of myself! If I, an overweight, middle aged woman, can do it anyone can! Thank you for all the amazing support. Without the slow jogging video and Nelson Mandela quotes I’m not sure I’d have made it through w8! Now do I keep on grinning or cry with happiness?! 🏃‍♀️🎉🏅😊😂 also thank you to my mentor Sarah, I’m gonna miss ya! 🥰

Well done you, what's next?!?!?

[Hidden in reply to Am_i_really_running]

I thought I’d work my way through the other mentors, w9 in repeat for each of them, so 4 more weeks of w9 to consolidate and maybe start pushing myself more for the last 5 mins as i get more comfortable/confident?

[Gwenllian1 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

That sounds a great idea. I did something similar to consolidate and have just done my first park run today. Keep running! You are a runner now!

[madmother Graduate]

Yay well done you!!! That’s fabulous. It’s just an amazing app and it gives you the confidence in yourself, which is half the battle. I feel like Sarah is actually talking to me! I need to finish it if only to hear her be proud!!!! I think I’m going mad!!!

W7r1 in the morning. 7am for me! Good work and be proud of yourself! Xxxx

[Hidden]

Thank you 😊 good luck with today’s run, although you’ve probably already done it, I’m so lazy today!!! Xx

[Kyliem Graduate]

What are you going to do now Helen? Is there another app you can do to keep you motivated, such a massive achievement. I’m on week 5 run 3 today 😖

[Hidden in reply to Kyliem]

Thank you 😊 my plan is to repeat w9 for 4 more weeks, using the other mentors for variety, and run for an extra 10% more time for one run each week to build up the distance. I really want to run the full 5k. I’ve been slightly overwhelmed by the amount of other apps do not sure what to follow. Good luck for today’s run, it’s a physiological battle. Go slow, then go even slower, you’ll rock it! ☺️ X
