Friday and it was raining but Iโ€™m now a runner I told myself so off I went !! If there was a halo for a ๐ŸŒ then mine should be glowing !! Canโ€™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 Iโ€™d walk it ! Now look at me Iโ€™m the one going out first thing he says he will wait till itโ€™s nicer. Mind heโ€™s a proper ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธnot a ๐ŸŒ Iโ€™ll never be going with him ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Feeling good so itโ€™s a victory ๐Ÿฅ‚ and onto week 9. I feel Iโ€™ve already graduated in so many ways. I must be getting healthier surely ? I feel great when Iโ€™ve completed a jog. Now it will be just keeping this routine up that might be the challenge.

Anyone reading this whoโ€™s just starting you can do it just believe you can. I really didnโ€™t think I could ever jog but here I am on the verge of completing !! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‡

Well done Delgirl ๐Ÿ˜€

You have already won and will continue to win going forward. ๐Ÿ…

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?

Itโ€™s been so good to read everyoneโ€™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 itโ€™s done. Will also maybe repeat an earlier week just to see if I find it easy. !!

I wonder how fast youโ€™d be completing weeks 1 & 2! ๐Ÿ˜‚

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 ๐Ÿ˜Ž

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!๐ŸŽ‰ 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 Iโ€™m heading to 66 feeling better than I have in ages. Still canโ€™t quite believe what Iโ€™m doing.

Will be so happy to make it to week 9 graduation next week ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿฅ‚

Very well done! Itโ€™s such an achievement, Iโ€™m nearly there too, itโ€™s a great feeling! By the way, thereโ€™s nothing wrong with the couch and crochet, I throw in a bit of knitting too just to mix it up! ๐Ÿ˜‚
