We did it!!! Week 9 Run 3

For all using this programme keep at it slow and gentle and be proud

For all the motivators and encouragers a huge thank you it helped loads

On our first run we ran to Cold Play and found a nice track round a local park so on our last run Cold Play sang in our ears as we ran round our local park

I never believed we would

it wasn’t our fastest it wasn’t our furthest but today we ran for a full 30 minutes for the third time

I never thought that we would keep going to the end and we are grinning like grinning things that grin a lot

The benefits? Blood pressure lower cholesterol lower legs stronger and more shapely, couple of inches less round the waist and those happy grins.

We used 1app and shared ear buds so I changed my username to include Colin who I and most who know him call Willow, he has had the odd twingey knee but otherwise we both got to the end of the programme injury free

Thanks we are so chuffed, I used to run miles many years ago and we are quite fir or so we thought until we tried to run 60 seconds then we were shocked at how hard it is and now we so enjoy running together

Thank you we are still grinning and have found if we put dinner in the oven before we go out we can eat about half an hour after we get back
