☀️ W6:3 ✅

Yippee I am a runner 🏃‍♀️ & I look & feel like one too. I even managed the last 60 second sprint that Jo said would be good for my heart. Amazing feeling & now to celebrate with a glass of water in a crystal wine glass!!! Wahoo!

Oh - must have got mixed up 🙈

It has been nice and mild - particularly these last few days. I’d dodged morning runs, however jumped at the chance for one on Saturday in the nice weather. I left the house this morning to head to work and thought it would be a nice morning for a run, so might take the opportunity Wednesday if it’s a nice morning again 👍🏼

Thank you!! 😀 It’s so worth it! Love my new gear! Comfy light & warm. Can’t get my head around you running in Hungary 🇭🇺

We've been here for 3 years and have another year to go. It's a great place to be but I really could do without another winter.

I am going for a gait analysis tomorrow and going to treat myself to some running shoes before driving to the hotel for work and going for my W6R3 run, I hope I manage the 25 mins of running let alone sprinting at the end like you have just done.

What a great job you are doing :)

Annieapple profile image
AnnieappleAdministratorGraduate in reply totiggs1

Oh you so will! Keep it slow & your new trainers will will have you bouncing home too! You are well prepared for this & it’s only 5 more mins. I was a 🐌 until that last minute, believe me & will be all the way to graduation! 🤣

Amazing, get you heading towards graduation with a spring in your step and well done again .... another milestone along the way 👏🏃‍♀️. Isn't it fabulous... all this confidence we're gaining from our running and joffling efforts. I think, perhaps like you, I'm carried along by the great tunes that I'm 'singing' along to as I trot along .... such a great way to switch off and relax. P.s. I'm still nipping at your heels, W6R1 done today 😉.

Thanks so much and well done to you getting through 6:1.🎈👏👍✔️Enjoy the last of the intervals. Different after 5:3 but fun & getting you ready for what lies ahead! Xx

2Tired2RunGraduate in reply toAnnieapple

Thanks 😀. I have to say my legs, body and mind are so very tired after all the coastal path walking we did last week, so going back to walk & joffle intervals R1 & R2 for me are just what I need! Hoping I'll have recovered sufficiently by Friday for R3! 🤔

AnnieappleAdministratorGraduate in reply to2Tired2Run

That coastal path walking looking amazing! Your photo was stunning. I have a passion for the beach! Yes, very tiring on the legs though!
