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

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 πŸ’ͺ

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 ! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

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.

How is the PF ?

I'd also stick an egg on that sausage sandwich πŸ˜‚

Def an Egg on top although i'm not going to get dragged into the "Red Sauce or Brown Sauce" Debate πŸ˜‚ 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 πŸ™‚

That's good with the PF πŸ‘

And your right , no debate needed (it has to be red πŸ˜‚)

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 πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

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 πŸ‘
