W5 in the bag before Dennis arrives

A mix up wk, 3 different runs, took each one as it came (but of course in my usual 🐌 pace shuffle) I was amazed that I was putting each run (shuffle) in the bag. As it was a new wk, thought, need a new playlist, what’s gonna get me through W5, as a non material girl, had to be Madonna. Music melt down in R2 which in actual fact worked in my favour, by the time I’d managed to rectify the playlist Sarah M kicked in to tell me i was doing really well & only had a min to go 🤣 Happy days

Today (as I only run Mon, Wed & Fri) was the big one, as I left the house Sarah M said today we’re going to do 5 min warm up, 20 min run & 5 min cool down walk.

WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY? 😱🥵

Oh shut up 🐒 crack on.

My W1R1 was also the day I stopped smoking, I can’t believe, I ran (did my old girl shuffle) for 20 mins straight today. My recovery time has amazed me.

Thank you for all your input, tips & encouragement, I’m running this with you & am so grateful for all you have given me & shared with me.

Dennis you’ve got nothing on us C25Kers 🌬💭🌨🤣

Enjoy your weekend everyone 👍😊 xx

Well done! That’s the benchmark run in the bag, be proud of yourself. Also, well done for quitting smoking. Just beware of the next run as it can catch some people out for some reason, just take it slowly. Don’t worry about the shuffle, I’m still doing that now and I’m not sure it will ever change, lol! 👍😁

Thanks Wenderwoo, I’ve noted that next one can be a bogey, My super 🐌 pace hasn’t let me down yet & I’m feeling quite comfy in my shuffle, the only things missing are my slippers & hot choc but I pick them up when home xx
