Well done Annie! A 25 minute run before 7:15?! Up and at em! 😃

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to NearlyMan]

🤣 had to be cold enough to show off my my new run jacket

[NearlyMan Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

I thought you lived in North Scotland - isn’t it always cold enough for a jacket 😂

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to NearlyMan]

Northumberland..it’s been quite mild till now. 😊

[NearlyMan Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

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 👍🏼

Thanks Kat! Are you over your migraine now! Did you manage your next run?

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

Much better now, thank you! I managed it but it was a struggle. Been out again since and much better. W7R3 next, I can’t believe it!

Another milestone completed. Well done, Annie. Lovely to have new gear to wear. You’ve inspired me to go shopping. 👍🏃‍♀️😘

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Puppy-love]

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

Do you live there permanently?

[Puppy-love Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

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.

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Puppy-love]

Brrr!! I am sure especially for running but as with everything negative My mantra “and this too shall pass”

Spring will return x

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to tiggs1]

Thanks Tiggs! Your will power & determination are incredible...well done on getting through the weekend safely!! Your health and self esteem will go up 💯 percent. Such admiration for you as it’s no easy thing to take on 2 life challenges at once!

[tiggs1 Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

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 Administrator Graduate in reply to tiggs1]

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! 🤣

[MarkyD Graduate]

Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, let me be running when the evening comes.

You're making such good progress Annie, well done. Love hearing about your runs, so keep posting.

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to MarkyD]

Oh that is so special...love it!! Thanks for the encouragement...love this song

[2Tired2Run Graduate]

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 😉.

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to 2Tired2Run]

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

[2Tired2Run Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

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! 🤔

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to 2Tired2Run]

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