Week five

[MrsD47]

W5R1 - done and felt good! Running with my 17 year old is very funny! I get a commentary on everyone at bus stops, boys in cars, people who smell of dope.....it’s eye opening. However, it gets her out and exercising which in turn reduces her exam stress. For us both the mental health benefits from running so far have been immense.

Bit scared about the rest of W5 but I’m gonna do my best to smash it!

Well done Mrs D on A) passing W5R1 and B) for taking along your daughter. It is well known amongst the experienced that running can have mental benefits sometimes over and above physical benefits. I'm really glad that's been the case for you and your daughter 😊

Don't worry Mrs D you will smash week 5 🏃‍♀️💥👍 we believe in you.

Wishing your daugher all the best with her exams too 🎓✅👍

Thank you so much - that’s a very supportive response!

Well done you...( both) taking it all in, is amazing... and don't smash.. sail smoothly, slowly and steadily through Week 5 and into the lovely longer runs

[MrsD47 in reply to Oldfloss]

That sounds like a plan 👍

[Coco-Major Graduate]

Fantastic.!! We have exam stress here too 😬

I’m sure with that attitude you will sail through the rest of week 5...you’re doing amazing 😊

[MrsD47 in reply to Coco-Major]

Yeah exams are hard on us all! Hopefully the running will help x

That’s really nice - thanks 🙏🏻 She keeps me going when I’m ready to give up so it works for us both x

Sounds like brilliant fun and a great distraction to run with someone else! Have you read the Week 5 Myths article / blog, it will really help you 😊

[MrsD47 in reply to JaoJao]

No I haven’t read that yet - I’ll try to find it - thanks

You are so lucky being able to run together.

Enjoy these moments.

The runs just add a couple of minutes each time.

Doing them together adds some wonderful memories too.

Enjoy it all.

Does it seem long since you started?

You are half way there! Go! Runners!

[MrsD47 in reply to Hatman]

I’ve blinked and we are here! It’s actually gone really fast - who knew?
