W8r3 victory 🐌 🏃‍♀️even through the 💦

[Delgirl82]

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 🏃‍♀️not a 🐌 I’ll never be going with him 🤣🤣🤣

Feeling good so it’s a victory 🥂 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 !! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😇😇

Well done Delgirl 😀

You have already won and will continue to win going forward. 🏅

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! 😂

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!!!

I love this post!!! One more week, you've so got this. 🐌 united!

Yay, well done!🎉 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!

[Delgirl82 in reply to Blossom-]

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 👍🏻🥂

[Blossom- Graduate in reply to Delgirl82]

I know! I think I'm addicted! See you in Consolidation!😀

Congratulations on completing week 8, mine tomorrow. Who’d have thought we’d get here, just one week away and enjoying it too. It truly is amazing 😀🐌🏃‍♀️

brilliant! Keep it up. Won't be long now - the shiny badge awaits!

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! 😂
