Morning all. Plan went a little awry as was struck down by a stomach bug last week was so disappointed not to be able to start week 5 as psyched myself up for it.

However, morning off work today so went for it! Week 5 Run 1 done ๐Ÿค— just hope my face returns to normal colour before work this afternoon ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Thatโ€™s great! Just been running too and I look like a beetroot (a red one not one of those fancy golden ones unfortunately!)

Well done on getting back on track. Must be tricky when being poorly knocks you out of your stride. I've just done W5R3 and feel great. You will too!

Normal face colour is boring, the brighter the red the harder the body has been worked ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช so well done!

Great running, I'm 10 weeks after graduating and I still get the tomato face I wonder if it ever goes ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I remember even at school getting a red face with minimum physical exertion! Layering on the foundation as we speak so will look vaguely โ€˜normalโ€™ when I get to work ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thanks for messages!
