and i've got to do it later today cos i have an appt. i can't miss in a bit... but just to say i am going into w3r2 with an entirely different attitude today. i CAN do it cos i have done it, and i CAN do it cos i have trained up till now to do so, and i CAN do it cos i have more faith in myself than before, and more faith in the programme. i CAN do it. (the only thing is today i am poorly, not running related, but i will be careful worry not - i can do it when i am better if that's what it takes )i CAN do this. so i will see you when i have done it. I DID IT !!! (edited after) TWICE!

Great attitude! Sometimes, I find that when I get on with doing what I should do, even if I don't feel like doing it, the desire to continue will follow. Either way...you're right, you CAN do it. One step at a time. Slowly, moving forward.

I am just discovering that! X

one snail slide at a time!

actually it was a really hard run! how ironic. but i was in pain for start offs (tummy) and i think i run better earlier as i felt very heavy and tired.x but i did it. up until now i have only done the s on the app and today i actually did a one.

i am hoping for this positivity for week 4... 5 minutes feels a lot but you're right, i CAN do it x i CAN keep going and i CAN graduate x

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to changing-woman]

Absolutely you can graduate ! 👍

[changing-woman Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

and every time i think i cant do it i will remember w3r1 which i was so sure i couldn't manage but then...did. x

[CazzaW Graduate]

Whoop whoop you did it 🙌 and you’ll do the next one too 💪

Am loving this new attitude 👌😊

[changing-woman Graduate in reply to CazzaW]

ah thanks cazza... this new attitude is a direct result of being 100% sure i couldn't do w3r1 and 100% smashing it! it taught me so much

[changing-woman Graduate in reply to CazzaW]

i try not to think about w5r3! it puts me off what i am doing. i CAN do this!!! x

[CazzaW Graduate in reply to changing-woman]

Don’t think that far ahead, just concentrate on the next run and only that one 😊 and you CAN do it 💪

[changing-woman Graduate in reply to CazzaW]

Yes! I CAN!! X thanks to this forum

hey, you know it was a really crappy run. cos i am poorly i had pain and no energy...but i was determined to do it and i did. my recovery time was far better than before but my energy expenditure was less cos i just didn't have it in me to be bouncy. not that i am repeating it cos i did it. right to the end and a bit more walking. now onto week 4. i wonder what delights that has for us. i am not going to look. lol. no way. i know where that got me. i can't un-know about week 5 run 3 i wish i could!

[changing-woman Graduate]

and isn't it weird how this whole program never exactly gets easier but it just seems not to get harder ... (yet)... it seems to prepare you for 'the next bit'... i keep thinking how well devised this whole thing must be... mind you i am only on week 4 lol

[changing-woman Graduate]

maybe on week 4 things will shake up a bit... lol

[changing-woman Graduate]

and seeing as this is my post and its not busy i will just add that i am pleasantly surprised that as yet AS YET i have no injuries at all. nothing. nothing hurts at all. not whilst, during or in between runs.. (shuffles. japanese slow jogging)...i am relieved too .i am going to enjoy this feeling because runners are always injured...it might be a question of time...it might be monday when i do wk4r1 ...maybe it just means i am not a proper runner yet!lol. hahahhhahahahahaha.ah hey ho.
