After a bit of a horrid first proper day working from home, this evening I embarked on my 3rd run of week 9. And I did it with a start to finish distance of a tad over 6k! Never in a million years when I embarked on this journey did I think I could do this. This programme is amazing, even more so now for the emotional and physical benefits in these uncertain times. Anyone thinking of doing this, do it! Anyone having a wobbly time, you can do this! I did! πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ‘ŠπŸ»πŸ˜€

I can tell you that 5k to 10k is easier than 0 to 5k; why... because you are a runner now. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ₯‡πŸ†

How do you do the bridge to 10k?

Thank you! You can do do it. You will have good runs and bad runs and some runs you absolutely struggle with but never regret when they are over. Keep with the programme, it really works πŸ˜€

Thank you! I still think 10k is a way off for me as I am definitely ready to stop by the end but I am up for the next challenge as I still need this in my life! πŸ™‚

Well done! Fellow runner.

I first read your post title to mean that you'd just had a wee. (I clearly need more caffeine this morning!)

I was impressed with how you are finding joy in the smaller things of life :D

It doesn’t matter what distance you make really. If you are running continuously for 30 minutes then you have smashed it! Thank you though. πŸ™‚
