Started again

[BaddieThePirate]

I started C25K again again. My neighbour has decided to do it, so much of the time we are running it together. This motivates both of us to get out there. But just to make sure I could, I went out and did 5km a couple of evenings ago. I can! I was disappointed with the time, til I realised that the figure I had in my head was my PB. When I looked at my previous times, I’d actually done ok. So, it wasn’t fast, and it wasn’t pretty, but I’m ready for Parkrun 😊✅🐌🐌🐌

We are on Week 5 now, and my neighbour will soon be much faster than me. Great running together, but it’s really beginning to push me. Perhaps I’ll get faster?

Thank you Irish-John

I’m sure that the with the regular running and increasing distance you will soon be back to your old times. It’s great that you’ve found a running Buddy.

Many of us have found we have lost our speed since the pandemic so we’ll be puffing round the parkrun course together. But we’ll be back together and that’s the main thing. Can’t wait!

[BaddieThePirate Graduate in reply to Dexy5]

Breakfast! I’ll run to that.

Yeayayyayaya! Go you ! I finished C25K again a few weeks ago... and thoroughly enjoyed doing it again No pressure at all Supporting your neighbour too... brilliant!

[BaddieThePirate Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Well done. Much easier the 2nd time, because we already believe we can do it 😊

How is it going now

[BaddieThePirate Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you fir asking. Running much more regularly now. Haven’t managed to keep up with my planks on non-run days. It’s not a big ask, but I keep forgetting. Must try harder!

Well done, good to have a pal to run with. And good to run 5KI am slowing down I think.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate in reply to RunaroundSue]

[Katnap Graduate]

I hope you're getting some sleep looking at the time you posted 💤! Must have been a good party 😃

Good work pushing yourself to 5k. You can now breeze through the remains of the C25K programme 👍🐱👍

[BaddieThePirate Graduate in reply to Katnap]

Sleeping is often a bit problematic 🙄

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

Well done BTP! People keep telling me speed is not mandatory (which really is just as well😄) and I’m passing it on! But you’ve been here before and know it already! Enjoy the rest of your C25K!

[BaddieThePirate Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Yes, good job it isn’t mandatory. Nice to be out and about in summer.

[Frenc Graduate]

Well done Baddie the 🏴‍☠️. How nice to be doing it with your neighbour 😊 too. That’s great you did a 5k as well, very 🔜 you’ll be back to your PB time or thereabouts! 👍👍👍

[HeavyFoot Graduate]

Good that you’re back, Baddie. Don’t forget that PBs are for people afraid of not being simply excellent 😃😃
