W9R3- Graduation day

[Weff]

I've only gone and done it!

I haven't run since Wednesday due to the heat but this morning jumped straight out of bed and off I went. Started well and feeling good. Maybe I'll go a different way today? Yes ok then! Oh dear, I seem to be going down rather a steep hill... I know what's coming. There it is... a hill! Noooooooo! I've reached the top and 15 minutes to go. Oh no, another obstacle. 5 really cute dogs that I really want to stroke! Nope, focus. Keep going! 10 minutes left and I'm flagging. That stupid hill!

Before I knew it, I had 1 minute left and I just couldn't believe it. I'm 60 seconds away from completing the programme and I can now run for a whole 30 minutes!

This programme was hard and I'm still working on trying to love running but I know I will get there.

To everyone doing this programme, you can do it and you're amazing!

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me and given me advice!

Now to work on consolidating my runs and getting to 5k!

Happy running! 🏃‍♀️🌞

Well done, especially on resisting the lure of the cute dogs. 🏆🐾

Well done. I graduated today too. My daughter persuaded me to carry on past the 30 minutes to 5k. I am going to have a couple of easy runs now 😁

[Weff Graduate in reply to Maz1103]

Congratulations on your graduation and reaching 5k! Incredible!

[Maz1103 Graduate in reply to Weff]

It about killed me but she was egging me on (20 and ultra fit). It was humid too. I won't be doing 5k every time. A few easier shorter runs I think 😂

[Weff Graduate in reply to Maz1103]

You still managed it! So you know you can do it

Well done 🏆!!

I am trying to persuade myself to get out for w6r3 tomorrow, the rain forecast is not encouraging me to set my alarm x
