Week 8 all done ✅ one week to go!! 🙌🏃🏼‍♀️

[liz163]

After struggling with the past couple of runs I changed my route today and loved it.. nice steady pace and time flew by! Previous runs I had music on but think it made me go to fast so put an audio book on today and it not only slowed me down but I enjoyed the run too! Found myself laughing in parts then realised people will think I’m bonkers running and laughing on my own ha ha!!

For anyone struggling keep at it as the process works.. I couldn’t run for 60 seconds and now feeling amazing, losing weight and enjoying it!! slow and steady is the key 😊🏃🏼‍♀️

Well done! 👍🏼 I think it really helps to mix it up a bit. You made me smile when I read the bit about you laughing at your audiobook- I always think that about my singing!!😱

I have had music on throughout the whole process and it definitely saw me through to graduation, but I have wondered about listening to a podcast instead. I might give it a go.

Look forward to seeing your graduation post-not long to go now! 👏🏼👏🏼

Really well done! Hoping to be back out for W8R2 this morning (just waiting for the rain to ease up a bit), after a few days off with a sore back (slipped in the bathroom, as am an idiot...). Fingers crossed!BTW, I regularly sing along, dance with my hands when running around! Did not realise I did it quite as much as I do until my partner came with me last time...!

Ha ha glad it’s not just me then! Ah hope your back ok.. enjoy your run ☺️🏃🏼‍♀️

[Bloomsbury22 Graduate in reply to liz163]

Thanks! It is feeling a lot better, so just waiting for the rain to ease up a bit (it looks cold out there...eek), and going to give it a good go!

[SweatyHettie Graduate in reply to Bloomsbury22]

Haha 😂 I’m so with you - I even do a 1,2,3,4 in the air before a really good bit - I think it might be on Mr Brightside when I do that! 🤣

[liz163 in reply to SweatyHettie]

Me brightside!! Ooo think I’ll play that in my last few mins of week 9 ha ha

[SmilelikeImeanIt Graduate in reply to SweatyHettie]

Mr Brightside always gets me moving with a smile! If you like The Killers, try their song Spaceman - that’s my best running song ever!

[liz163 in reply to SmilelikeImeanIt]

Ooo thank you I’ll have a listen to that 😊

[LauraLouP Graduate]

Me too. Week 8 run 3 done. The end is in sight! Well done. This time next week - graduation! X

[liz163 in reply to LauraLouP]

Wooo well done 👏👏

Sounds like you’re doing great!!! I’m 1 run behind you and that’s a good tip about running to an audio book and also changing route! I think I’ll give that a go - anything that might help us definitely worth a try!! It is amazing when you look back to week 1 and you can never picture yourself actually running nonstop for 28 minutes, it just shows what a brilliant exercise plan this is!!! 👏👏

[liz163 in reply to Running21a]

It’s amazing isn’t it.. can’t believe how far I can run! I’m like a beetroot face like ha ha but I don’t care and feel so elated when the time is up especially today as time flew by! Enjoy your next run .. ill look forward to reading you’ve completed it and ready for week 9 🏃🏼‍♀️😊

[Running21a in reply to liz163]

It’s a great feeling though isn’t it? As you say you look like a beetroot but after your showered and getting on with your day you feel like you’re on cloud 9!!! Going out tomorrow or Friday (seeing what the rains up to)!!!! that’ll be week 8 completed! Onwards and upwards! 👍👍

[liz163 in reply to Running21a]

Enjoy it 😊🏃🏼‍♀️

[Suestudy Graduate]

[liz163 in reply to Suestudy]

[Suestudy Graduate in reply to liz163]

Yup nearly there for both of us good luck 😀
