W8r3 victory 🐌 πŸƒβ€β™€οΈeven through the πŸ’¦

Friday and it was raining but I’m now a runner I told myself so off I went !! If there was a halo for a 🐌 then mine should be glowing !! Can’t quite believe I just went and did that. Me who loves my couch and crochet !!

So I am now officially a crazy senior lady probably should wear purple !!! My husband started this running programme and I said I’d walk it ! Now look at me I’m the one going out first thing he says he will wait till it’s nicer. Mind he’s a proper πŸƒβ€β™€οΈnot a 🐌 I’ll never be going with him 🀣🀣🀣

Feeling good so it’s a victory πŸ₯‚ and onto week 9. I feel I’ve already graduated in so many ways. I must be getting healthier surely ? I feel great when I’ve completed a jog. Now it will be just keeping this routine up that might be the challenge.

Anyone reading this who’s just starting you can do it just believe you can. I really didn’t think I could ever jog but here I am on the verge of completing !! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‡

Well done Delgirl πŸ˜€

You have already won and will continue to win going forward. πŸ…

I bet fitness will get better the longer you can keep the running up.

Maybe you could just keep repeating week 7,8 or 9 to keep you in a routine?

It’s been so good to read everyone’s runs that have been in roughly the same place and has been inspiring and motivational!

Good luck for week 9!

Yes I think I will stick with listening to week 9 once it’s done. Will also maybe repeat an earlier week just to see if I find it easy. !!

I wonder how fast you’d be completing weeks 1 & 2! πŸ˜‚

When I think back to how hard it felt at the beginning I never thought I would still be running now all this time later.,with 4 runs left! Now I get that urge that I NEED to go for a run. Absolutely amazing, every single one of us 😎

Yay you! Up to this run this morning but going to just run as long as I can and if I don't do 28 minutes I'll do it on sunday.

You're definitely fitter!!! You can use the programme still for the few weeks after for the consolidation runs.

You're doing it!!!

Yay, well done!πŸŽ‰ The podium awaits. I graduated last week, 65 knocking on 66, have done 2 consolidation runs (w9r3) and plan to do that for a few weeks before looking at increasing distance/pace. It's amazing we can do this! We are all amazing. Go you!

Thank you. Like you I’m heading to 66 feeling better than I have in ages. Still can’t quite believe what I’m doing.

Will be so happy to make it to week 9 graduation next week πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ₯‚

Very well done! It’s such an achievement, I’m nearly there too, it’s a great feeling! By the way, there’s nothing wrong with the couch and crochet, I throw in a bit of knitting too just to mix it up! πŸ˜‚
