Week5 Run 2!!!!

[Fionamags]

No hail, no gale, no sleet, no snow. Just a clear blue sky and a yellow ball up in the sky. First run not cold (well it was around 2-3 degrees, which is comparatively warm).

Set off with the usual trepidation but I kept the mantra going - once I get past 5 mins it will get better! Lo and behold, I reached 8 minutes and felt like I could have kept going! Stored that away for the 'big run' on Thursday....

Anyway - was a corker of a run and I'm absolutely buzzing. Its given me a massive confidence boost to tackle the next one!!!

Roll on the 20 minutes! (Did I really say that??? 😱🤭😆)

Yay well done!

So good to hear that the weather was fine and that you felt elated at the end! You are ready to SMASH those 20 minutes!!!

I'm doing W5R2 tomorrow.... with my HUSBAND!

He has an "enforced" work-at-home day (?) so said he would accompany me and then continue with his longer run (he graduated 18 months ago). No pressure then, LOL!

Don't get sucked into his pace whatever you do! Good luck!!

[pippkins Graduate in reply to Fionamags]

True, I warned him that I am going slow and that he could go ahead and lap me, will report later!

Well done Fionamags, great stuff.

What you have achieved so far, combined with your positive mental attitude, is a great combo and I’m sure you will smash the next run 🏃‍♀️ 💪👍

You can do it, and I hope you enjoy it.
