W3R1 and 10 degrees cooler ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Wow, what a difference! Felt really good (except for the sore left knee I have developed ๐Ÿ˜ฌ) I never ever thought I could manage 3 minutes but when Jo said I could stop I actually felt that I could go on for a tiny bit more (obviously didnโ€™t, am doing exactly what she tells me to ๐Ÿ˜‡)

As Iโ€™m 5 hours behind you lovely lot I try and read as many of your posts as I can before I go out as they fill me with positivity. Iโ€™m usually propped up in bed with my early morning cuppa reading how youโ€™ve all got on ๐Ÿ˜Š

Am hoping my left knee soreness (which does ease as the day goes on and with Ibuprofen) is as a result of getting used to the support of my new lovely trainers following gait analysis as so many recommend. Itโ€™s either that or sympathy pains with the rest of you with sore knees. I gather from reading on here that sore knees are not uncommon.

Onto R2 on Friday and hoping itโ€™ll remain cooler first thing like today ๐Ÿ™ and am hoping the weather continues to improve for you all at home.

Honestly I think sore knees in week 2 and 3 is the most common topic for posting about. That or apprehension about W5R3. With any luck itโ€™ll go soon. Mine certainly did. Best of luck ๐Ÿ˜Š

Well done CazzaW. You are smashing this!!!! I felt like week 3 was a breakthrough for me. Except for the sore knees which I totally understand hahahaha. Iโ€™ve sent for knee supports just incase.

Enjoy the rest of the week

Thank you for that top tip, and VPOLLIE67 too, Iโ€™ll see what I can find. Not sure Sports Direct will ship to Toronto ๐Ÿ˜… but Iโ€™m sure I can find something over here ๐Ÿ‘

Not at all, how would you know Iโ€™m over here ๐Ÿคฃ Weโ€™re here for 3 years with my husbandโ€™s job, arrived in March, 10 days before lockdown... not the best timing ๐Ÿ˜– Am missing family and friends dreadfully and no visitors due to C19 ๐Ÿ˜ข Am so grateful for this forum, itโ€™s so good to hear you all talk about home ๐Ÿ˜Š
