So o.k. I'm a snail. But I did it! Can't believe I'm actually doing this at all. So pleased with my determination. Slower again today but taking on board that this isn't a timed race. I'm convinced I'm walking faster than running but I am out there. Congrats to everyone else at this point too. ๐๐

Snails rule! Thatโs how I graduated! Iโm a follower of Japanese Slow Jogging, when Iโm not using a podcast. Works very well for me.

Iโve been running for over a year and still have people walk past me when I โrunโ uphill. Thatโs fine, itโs not a race, itโs a get fitter pastime, a way to feel better mentally, a way to make friends. Slow is sensible and the way forward. Literally. You are doing great, well done ๐๐

Just done Wk4R2 and I was over taken by everyone ๐๐๐
All Iโve heard is slow it down & think snail ๐
so I now Iโve slowed down & I keep thinking snail pace is my pace & I actually do walk faster than I run ๐ but as you say at least we are out there & off the Couch ๐ !!!
Well done you ๐
#BelieveToAchieve
Nice to know I'm not the only one thinking that! At ๐
Remember we all started at W1R1 & we all said no way can I do this!! But step back & look where we all are now!
personally for me this is a massive achievement ๐ I have always dreamed of becoming a runner & now Iโm on my way! I also canโt wait to give up my gym membership because being outdoors is so much better than being stuck in a gym! roll on Tenerife 2020 Iโll be packing my running kit! Iโve not long got back from a holiday there, so I know where I can run & how flat it is, so it will be steady away & I WILL be a graduate ๐ by then, so Iโll be hitting at least a good 20 -30 mins daily, Iโm working on my length of running time rather than the distance. ๐

Going slow is good it will get you to the end of each run. Well done you ๐๐
