Sweat and tears

So today I had it in my mind run three week three but turns out I am on run 1 week 4.....daunting but ok let’s see how far we get.

I did the whole thing ....it was hard and I was ready to give up a thousand times but Sarah Millican always seemed to anticipate that and popped up just when I needed it most.

And now I’m crying .....I did it. I did it properly and stuck it out and finished it..... 4 weeks ago I couldn’t face going up a flight of stairs today I ran for 16 minutes and on Sunday I’m gonna do it again.... I know I will because I did it today.

I’m going to run 5k - maybe not tomorrow but I’m a few weeks..... I’m going to do it.

Wow! I'll take that. I've never had anything done in my name before! 😂😂😂😂 My head is so big now that I am going to swan round town tomorrow saying to randomers, "Don't you know who I am??!! I am Lindsey, son of John, slayer of three minute jogs and people run in MY name! Now out of my way." 💪💪💪

We need to get that printed on a t-shirt !

Seriously though I’m gonna do that ......it’s so much harder to let a stranger down ....especially when she sounds like your long lost twin

You sound like my kind of froot ....love it

It is harder to let a stranger down, particularly when they are your long lost twin! 😂......therefore I am going to run (and I use that term lightly!) in the name of Vienna 💪🏅. Together we will conquer the world! (Or at least the local pavements)

The t-shirt idea is inspired......this could go far!

I usually run on my machine....with a border collie looking at me with disgust

So do I.......but with a labrador and a poodley thing laughing at me. I can't run outside with them on leads as it ends up like a Mr Bean sketch. Machine is safer!

in reply to Lindsey-joy

Do you run wearing deelyboppers with buns on?

Cos that’s gonna be beyond coincidence

Mine have googley eyes.

in reply to Lindsey-joy

I’m going to patent the deelybuns...... I wouldn’t get 100 yards without them.

It’s a follow on from the very successful bun hat.

By buns do you mean;

A) the hairstyle

B) what my wee Irish mammy would call cupcakes

C)buttocks.

Just need to get this straight in my head.

The mind boggles!

in reply to Lindsey-joy

B......as in Belgian .....swirl of sweet bread, sultanas. Topped with sweet perfect white glacé icing finished with a cherry

Keep the morale up and finish the peogram. 5K is not far. Happy running.
