Week 5 Run 1

[Jools2020]

Ooh yes! Week 5 here I am! Ran this morning on a different day and a different time. I can get too entrenched in routines, so I shook it up a bit. Michael was with me every step of the way! (He is just so encouraging, it’s like he knows me! 😂) Managed the 3 x 5 minute runs without incident, although I don’t think I had much spare to give at the end of the run. All in all pretty pleased to be on Week 5 and so proud of myself that I ran a total of 15 minutes this morning!

Awesome Jools and that’s exactly how I felt - didn’t feel I had anymore to give... but then I did R2 and R3 and you will do it too!

Fab start to your weekend 🏃🏽‍♀️👏👏

Enjoy your achievement x

Yes, I remember your post, so perhaps it’s normal to feel that way! Thank you!

I did that run this morning too! I also took new different route which started by walking up a huge hill so I was tired before I started my 1st run 🙈 but I managed it and can't believe how much my fitness has improved.

Scared but also excited for what's ahead. Didn't think I'd be capable of getting this far, so it's time for our minds to believe our bodies can do it.

Well done xxx

You are so right! I don’t know anything about hills, where I live it’s completely flat 😀. Well done for negotiating your hill, sounds like a nightmare to me!

Well done!

Great to know it can be done 🤣😂

It can be refreshing to make changes I find

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to wobbles_when_runs]

Haha, yes it can be done! I agree about making changes 🙂

Well done Jools!

[Jools2020 Graduate]

Thank you! It feels great to get the first run of a new week done and dusted 😀

Brilliant, well done

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Whippetywhip]

Thank you! I am still amazed that I did it! As I started the last run I knew I could do it, But had to slow down a tad nearer the end.

Great stuff Jools. Knew you could do it. I found run 2 of Week 5 easier then run 1, so don’t worry about the two 8 minutes. Well done!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to BeaglesEnd]

Thanks. Oh, that’s good to hear! I’ll be doing that one on Monday.
