I had to post as I’m so proud!!! I know for many reaching week 3 might not be a success point, but considering I wasn’t able to get through week 1 run 1 initially, I am very happy!! Also extra proud I got up at 6am to do it, as I now have an all day dental appointment to contend with. Still not going at more than a snails pace- I hope that’s ok!! - just so happy I have got to week 3!

Hope you all have a brilliant day!!

Making the decision to do this...

Getting up for your first run...

Getting out the front door...

Completing your first run...

Finishing each run...

Are ALL success points.

You should be proud.

Well done!👊🏽

Thank you!!! I’m so glad you’ve said this- I got overtaken by a few others out so early- nobody else was as slow as me! I’m so happy to hear I’m not alone and thank you for your support!! ❤️

Oh excellent 445600 - how did you find run 1? I actually found it slightly better than I’d anticipated, although the first 3 min run felt like forever 🤣 the second 3 min run was a little better! I’m also finding the nausea is lasting for a shorter period when I’m finished- so happy days all around! Interestingly I did realise I didn’t travel quite as far during this run compared to week 2...which doesn’t seem to make sense? I must really be going slowly!!

Well done 👏. Every run you do is a success. I go out at 6 am as well, its quiet and peaceful 😌. Hope all goes well at the dentists x
