W5R1C25K Done

[Roadrunner65]

Was nervous about week 1... done it! Apprehensive about week 2... done it! Motivated about week 3... done it! Enthused about week 4...done it! Pumped for week 5...started it... R1 done! 3 x 5 minute runs and loved it. Not fast, no race medals (yet) but in my mind, my aging, worrying, over-thinking mind, I'm Rocky Balboa running up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (you need to see the film to know what I'm on about, the first one), which reminds me, playlist update; gone is KC and the Sunshine band's 'Give it up', in is the theme to Rocky (Gonna fly now) plus a few 80's and 90's club classics to get my feet moving; I can't dance (my daughter says), but I can run a bit now :).

Sounds like you are growing in confidence.

Relax and enjoy the ride.

Got that Rocky theme on my playlist too plus Queens “don’t stop me now” and Bon Jovi “Living on a prayer” (for the toxic 10) and for the hills “the only way is up” by Yazz(cheesy but does the trick). Great to hear you are enjoying it so much, keep going 👍 it gets better!

Good choice ☺

There's a place for kc and the sunshine band but on your running playlist is not it 😁 happy running 🏃 ☺️

Great song for the playlist. I am always changing them round. Prefer random play so I cannot predict where I am by a song...but had one song repeat 3 times the other day.

You can definitely run. Well done. 👍

[Roadrunner65 Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Ha! The same song, hope it didn't play consecutively.😂

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Roadrunner65]

Unfortunately...yes. 🙉

[Buddy34 Graduate]

What a great positive attitude you have. I'm with you on the Rocky soundtracks , I've got a few on my playlist. 👍💪

[Roadrunner65 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Started 2 years after originally intended to. The intention grew until I finally succumbed, the positivity grows each time you achieve a run.

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to Roadrunner65]

Exactly💪

Loving your enthusiasm. When it's going well I too feel like a champion . Only when I run with others do I realise how slow I am . But do not care any more cos I'm faster and fitter than I was a few months ago. We have found a healthy addiction.

[Roadrunner65 Graduate]

Certainly have 🏃
