W5R3 eat my dust!

[Lindsey-joy]

Well what can I say?

In my best Michael Caine voice;

"She's only gone and bluddy done it!!" 🏅

I am on cloud nine. I have never run for a full 20 minutes in my life until today and I did it! By the age of 13 I was a master of forging my mother's signature and had a plethora of legitimate medical terminology so running at school for me was mainly a spectator sport. 😂

It really was a case of being mentally prepared for today as thanks to the plan, my body was. 💪🙌

I never thought I would say this but this run has been my favourite so far.....

Off to reward myself with some funky leggings that i will probably never wear but feel i should own!

Congrats. W5r3 was the first time I said thats my favourite run so far, I've since said it twice more. Be careful of the first 2 runs if week 6 a lot of people have been caught out by going back to intervals after doing that 20min run. I read all about their troubles and really took it easy and found because of heeding the warnings I was prepared. You should totally put your funky leggings on as a badge of honour.

Thanks!

I've not seen the posts about w6r1. Sounds like i will be taking it extra slow! Is it hard to go back to intervals after that 20 minute run?

One day i will wear my funky leggings with pride but for now I am just happy to stroke them when they arrive 😂 maybe on graduation......

[Stevieplink Graduate in reply to Lindsey-joy]

I didn't find them harder but I was prepared from what other people had said. I slowed it down

Thanks for your support 😁

[Percyp73 Graduate]

Hey running twin! Go us! Didn't I say we would do this?!

Are you as stiff as me now? 😂😂😂

I just got up after sitting at the computer for an hour......think the dogs may have to be walked earlier rather than later at this rate.....work can wait! 😂

Congratulations Lindsey! 🎆✨ Such a great feeling! Next stop graduation! 🏁🏆😄

[Lindsey-joy Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Clubberlang! I'm still buzzing

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Great job. There’s something about just running that’s magical. I now do some intervals again, but they’re never my favourite run of the week. Slow and steady into week six and you got this.

[DiscoRunner Graduate]

Absolutely fantastic! It is an amazing moment - twenty blooming minutes!! You’ve earned those funky leggings!

[Lindsey-joy Graduate in reply to DiscoRunner]

Thank you DiscoRunner! And thank you for the slow running link you sent in my first week.....it has literally kept me going during these longer runs!

[DiscoRunner Graduate in reply to Lindsey-joy]

Oh I’m so glad! Loved your faking letters - I faked an asthma attack to get out of running at school. Look at us now!!!! x

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K. Onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs 🏃

Why not wear those funky leggings you own at a parkrun near where you live.

I treated myself to a pair of funky leggings as a graduation present to myself and they make me so happy when I put them on. Don't save them for later, start enjoying them straight away! You can treat yourself to a running top to go with for graduation!

[Lindsey-joy Graduate in reply to Debston]

Debston, I like your style! 😂

[Debston Graduate in reply to Lindsey-joy]

😂 😁 😅

Fantastic achievement! Well done! I hope to follow in your footsteps in a week and a bit! Xx
