Week 4 at long last, and an extra bit

[grumpyoldgirl]

I'm pleased to report that I've finally tackled week 4, and this time I'm managing the 5 minute run sections with no drama. I did run 1 with a friend, and set out for run 2 on my own this morning. I should have gone sooner, but I've had a migraine over the weekend, so I was a bit worried that I'd find it tough - but it was ok, and in fact, I tacked an extra 4 minutes run on the end, so that was 20 minutes of running in total.

Note to self - no more pain au chocolat for you, lady! 🥐☠️❌

Nice run for you today grumpyoldgirl BUT as you say "no more chocolate" especially before you run. 🏃🏾

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I know Al, and there's a lovely bar of the stuff in the fridge, but I can't risk another migraine, so I think I'll have to give it to Mr grumpy!

[Granspeed Graduate]

Well done. But so sad it’s delicious treat that sets off the migraine. 😢 Pity it couldn’t be something you don’t much care for anyway. 🙄 Just started W5 on my reruns, so I hear you creeping up behind me! 👏🏼

I’m in week 4 too! (Though only did the 1 run so far) Great job! Hope to see you in week 5

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yay! 🤞

Well done! There’s a programme on Channel 5 this Thursday at 7pm called How to Stop Your Migraines. Might be worth a look! X

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Thanks Jill, I'll have a look! I don't get them very often, luckily, but I was good for nothing on Sunday 😁

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

I’ve had them for years, usually when I’m really tired or stressed but luckily I have good meds so I don’t usually suffer too much, but I know exactly how miserable they can be. Hope you’re feeling better now x

Oh dear, migraines are really horrible,but the run went well. You are a week ahead of us on the re run. I remember week 4 being my most difficult but i’ve not told my friend that

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

It is a big step up I feel, but then I've taken lots of little steps in between! I won't tell your friend, it'll be our secret 😏

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

No I’m not telling her either

[Doris8 Graduate]

Well done 👏

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to Doris8]

Thank you 😊

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Well done.

C25K works as it is written.

Many much younger than you have done extra, only to regret it when they get injured.

Sticking to the plan is the safest way to avoid injury.

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Oops yes I agree with you, I'm having to be extra careful, I'm not playing fast and loose with the program. Any first timers, don't do what I'm doing! I've been hovering between week 3 and 4 for about a month as I test my foot out.

[Mum22boys Graduate]

Well done for getting through week 4 😊 come and join me in week 5 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to Mum22boys]

Temptress! One more run on week 4 and than maybe!

[Papillon17 Graduate]

Well done glad you have had progress.

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to Papillon17]

Thank you, it's slow but it's happening😊

[over61andstilltrying Graduate]

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thanks my lovely, I'm out again in the morning for run 3 of week 4-ish, avoiding the coffee and chocolate!
