Lordy! I just managed 25 minutes of continuous plogging 😂 In WK1 R2 I injured my knee I was so unfit but I’m learning to ignore my inner voice and listen instead to Laura. Im doing my training in The Meadows in Edinburgh and timed it to perfection-just as I was doing my cool down walk the speedy runners appeared. Maybe someday I might get faster but right now Im pretty darn chuffed with my achievement. Happy running everyone 😊

That is a lovely photo of the place you run, much better than running along main roads.

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 6, you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER, onwards and upwards to week 7.

The speed those runners you saw today used to run as fast as you when they wew training, so who knows in a few weeks or months you maybe able to run as fast as them.

Wouldn’t that be grand! I’ve got to admit I was looking up the requirement for a sprint Triathlon! It’s 5k for the run. Bought wrong in having plans and dreams and even delusions 😂. Thank you for your kind and supportive words 🙏
