This was a tough gruelling slow jog. I looked somewhat like a flailing whale for the first few minutes !! Just like Iโ€™ve never done this before. Crazy but then settled into my slow slow stride. Thought Jo had abandoned me but no up she popped at 10 mins then I thought oh only 4 till I turn round. It did that feel a long 4 mins thought sheโ€™d never pipe up ! The turn yay now Iโ€™m on my way back yippee I can do this. I had to really give myself a good talking to. It was hot and sweaty today. Think I prefer cool and rain !!

Well now Iโ€™m home bathed in my own glory of having done it !! Such a great feeling. To all those doubters out there believe because this lady couldnโ€™t jog to save her life weeks ago. Now Iโ€™m apparently a runner mmmmm more a ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธbut very happy to be just that.

So happy for you. Wow such a great feeling of achievement.

I'm still not running after I sprained a muscle but I'm itching to get back to it. Nearly there. I think I'll be running in the next couple of days.

Well done you! And it really is about the journey and not the destination, isn't it. I really don't want this programme to end!!!!!

Hats off to you, from one snail to another ๐ŸŒ ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐ŸŒ
