W9R3.......completed !!!!

[chunkypie]

Yep i done it, Thought i never would but i did !!!!

Like many on here i thought i'd never do it. I have a slipped disc in my back that ive had for years and i also suffer from Arthritis although that it pretty much under control for now. It would be easy to make excuses not to try the run because of these factors but thats not me. If a see a problem i kick it were it hurts 💪

At the beginning W1R3 i had to redo it because i couldn't even complete 60 seconds. Now i feel like i could comfortably run 40 mins if i wanted to without laying on the grass to recover 🤣

All i can say is most of us have probably had doubts at some point in the program, We all have "stuff" going on but stick with it and you can and will do it. You'll feel better physically and mentally !!

For anyone starting out well done for starting and good luck & for anyone completing well done and enjoy the high it gives you.

So now whats next. Well a two day rest and im skipping the Banana today and having a celebratory Sausage Sandwich, Thats the plan Laura App so deal with it ! 😂😂

Sausage sandwich is essential!

[Scout37 Graduate]

Woo hoo! Congrats!

You're one run ahead of me, I did R2 of the final week today. But I ran for 51 minutes lol.

Did you enjoy your graduation run? Or just the sausage sandwhich?

Either way, a huge well done from me.

[chunkypie Graduate in reply to Scout37]

51 mins, well done not sure i could do 50 mins yet haha Next plan is to run 5k while eating a sausage sandwich !

[Scout37 Graduate in reply to chunkypie]

Love it...do it...

[Instructor57 Graduate]

Well done , and congratulations on your graduation 😬👍👏👏👏

How is the PF ?

I'd also stick an egg on that sausage sandwich 😂

[chunkypie Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Def an Egg on top although i'm not going to get dragged into the "Red Sauce or Brown Sauce" Debate 😂 The PF has been ok. After each run i soak my foot in a bucket of cold water for 5 minutes as a precaution and seems to do the trick 🙂

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to chunkypie]

That's good with the PF 👍

And your right , no debate needed (it has to be red 😂)

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Keep running, keep smiling.

[Mamma_Mayhem Graduate]

Woohoo. Well done and congratulations. It was a bit touch and go for a while with your PF and whether you would have to delay graduation . I’m super proud of you 👏👏👏

[chunkypie Graduate in reply to Mamma_Mayhem]

Thanks. Tbh in an ideal world I would of rested for at least a week because of the PF but with one week left I thought ice bottle under the foot, soaking in a cold bucket and it done the trick 👍

[Mamma_Mayhem Graduate in reply to chunkypie]

Well now you can kick back and rest it properly now that you are a graduate. 👍
