Made it to 5k at last!😃🏃‍♀️

I set off for my 7th consolidation run on 7th July (7/7) at 7.55am on a flat route, thinking today has to be the day.... and it was 😄. I went without Laura for the first time, just my music and kept the pace deliberately slow. If my heart rate went over 165 I knew I had to slow down, and I did it - and it was OK! 41.4 minutes, but I'm just really happy to have reached that seemingly unreachable finishing line!

👏👏👏🎉🎉Well done that's amazing good for you! Keep at it, 41.5 minutes without stopping is superb. Im still too nervous to run without Laura😳

[JeanneMary Graduate in reply to Cockneymick]

Well, Laura let me go off on my own last time after the first 5 minutes - I suddenly realised that I hadn't heard from her after the half way bell! So I carried on and found that she was right to let go. I think someone else needed her more. 🤣

[Cockneymick Graduate in reply to JeanneMary]

Yes me! I'll have to let her go sometime, just not sure if I'm ready yet🤔

Congratulations 🎉🥳👏

Great stuff you must be well chuffed with yourself 😁

Fancy ditching Laura for that landmark run 😉

I must be honest and say I wasted no time and dumped Michael on consolidation run 1. Was I too harsh with him ?

[JeanneMary Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

I think he was probably happy to see you gain your independence! Laura had to ditch me during Consolidation number 6!

Many congratulations. Excellent time too. You go girl!

[JeanneMary Graduate in reply to Banana12]

Thank you! I don't really consider it a good time as I think I'm a really slow runner still, but you've made me feel better about it now and I guess it's quite respectable!
