Wk7r3 I can only apologise to innocent bystanders....

I set out 5 days ago full of joie de vivre, and confidence. I set my bar high and off I ran. Within 10 minutes I wanted to collapse onto my proverbial bar and order a large one. What had I been thinking of?!! Too fast! I completed it but oh dear I can only imagine what a frightening sight it was for dog walkers and innocent children. I should think they have been scarred by what must have looked like Tinky Winky popping her clogs. I completed it but it was ugly to behold. Bouncing off tree trunks. Back to my chugging! And yesterday what a wonderful wk8r1! I kept it slow and enjoyed it so much! I actually did 33 minutes i felt so good. Never would I have thought I could do this! It’s just brilliant! Steady weight loss and sleeping better.. Boom!!

😂😂 Great post, Scrumpybumble that did make me laugh, perfect photo too.

That’s the way it is with running you have crappy ones, then the next one is totally different 🤷‍♂️ secret is to accept the crappy ones as a mental workout. Well done on completing W8R1, hopefully the dog walkers and innocent children en-route would have seen today’s effort and it’s contributed to their recovery 😉😂

Scrumpybumble 🤦speed it's overated, slow is a wonderful thing, keep doing it at your pace, you're so close 👍

Your post made me smile... "Tinky Winky popping her clogs" 🤣 brilliant. I remember week 7 thinking well this has certainly ramped up and flaming hard work. Stick with it and you'll get through it (or find the nearest defibrillator 😀). I completed C25K a few weeks ago. Go girl and the best of luck 👍
