Yay! Way to go Crow277 ! I had a similar experience! I keep noticing this grin on my face 🤣 I, too, am looking forward to Wednesday's W5R2 (well for me it'll be on Wednesday...). It's a really nice way to start my day. 🥳

Great to read posts like yours, it’s crazy how such a basic action like running brings such joy to us. I feel exactly the same as you- why didn’tI start earlier in life ? but we are where we are it’s better late than never 😊

Well done!

Agreed - I also finished run 1 Wk 5 yesterday. Was an effort to get out due to some family emotional stuff last week but once finished I was bouncing about wanting more! 🤣. I then went straight out again for a brisk hours walk with my dog - puts my head in such a good place! I love it!

R3 week was the crunch point for me. I just kept going and, when I'd done it, I knew that I would graduate. Good luck, and don't stop when you've graduated.
