Iโ€™ve bloody done it!

Just ran W9R3 in the rain in the middle of nowhere and Iโ€™m soaked through. Felt quite emotional actually ๐Ÿ˜‚ I cannot believe Iโ€™ve done it and I can call myself a runner. If youโ€™d seen me 10 weeks ago Iโ€™m not sure a bookie would have great odds on me.... For anyone struggling, feeling tired and sore, having a โ€˜canโ€™t be botheredโ€™ day, donโ€™t give up. ๐Ÿ’•

Fantastic! Well done! This is brilliant to read as I start my week 2. That last run seems like a bizarre dream right now but I can't wait to be in your shoes! ๐Ÿ˜„

How are you going to celebrate?

When I started I couldnโ€™t wait for the 90 seconds to END ๐Ÿ˜‚ Iโ€™d huff and puff and didnโ€™t actually think Iโ€™d finish this. I donโ€™t think it ever actually got โ€˜easierโ€™, but then I realised that for the same effort I was running 3k then 4K.... You can totally do it โ˜บ๏ธ

Oh that is fantastic news, thanks!! I am amazed at how much easier it felt yesterday by simply going slower - I must have been Usain Bolting it in W1! ๐Ÿคฃ

Thank you folks โ˜บ๏ธ Iโ€™m now formulating a plan going forward. I think Iโ€™m going to continue with the 30 minute runs for a couple of weeks until it feels easier, then work on increasing it.

So thrilled for you. Well done. Am really interested to hear of your next steps now as Iโ€™m keen to carry on after week 9 too - (of course Iโ€™ve still got to get through Wks 7-9 first though! lol)
