Smiling in the pouring rain 🌧 ☺

Hi everyone. So many of you encouraged me at the beginning of my journey, I just thought I would check in and say hi.

Completed week 5 run 1 just now in torrential rain. The smile on my face must have made the dog walkers in the park think I'm crazy 😜

Five weeks ago, the dream of running along the gorgeous Oxwich Bay beach on my wedding morning was exactly that..... a dream. Now I know I will run along that beach and back again by May 22.

For anyone just starting out and doubting themselves, please stick with it. The plan works and it really doesn't matter how long it takes to complete it.....just don't stop.

Have a good one 👍 😊

Woop woop! Well done on your progress OB, and even better to hear you’re loving it! Sounds like you’ve caught the run bug 🐛 ✨💕 A run in the rain can be soo refreshing!

W5 is such an exciting week. When you smash R3 you’ll realise what you’re truly made of and the rest of the programme suddenly feels so achievable. Keep it up! 😎

Well done! Look how far you’ve come! You’re smashing it ( and smiling too!) I’m really pleased for you! I remember how worried you were pre Week 1, and now look! Fantastic! You should be very proud of yourself!

Thank you! I honestly couldn't have done it if I hadn't been spurred on by all the encouragement on this forum. It's like being swathed in a big blanket of positivity 🥰
