Week Six, Run Three

[mummybowles]

So long, Week Six.

My naughty Garmin GPS couldn't find my location for the first 7 minutes of my run, but I can tell you I ran the remaining 18 mins at 8:16/km.

At the end I took this photo so you could see the beautiful river I run along. I was lapped by every other jogger out there but I carried on til the end, ran for a continual 25 minutes and am NOW (apparently) A RUNNER !! I'm absolutely buzzing !!

Week Seven is just (just) three repeats of tonight's run. Wonder if I can improve my time over the week? Will keep you posted....

Well done, Runner!With a view like yours I'd be slowing down so I could enjoy it for longer 😁

Well done MB ... Those people lapping you had only been out for 2 mins 😉 that's what I tell myself when I am out anyway 😃

Good job getting this one done and dusted ... congratulations MB Runner. Next week = Rinse and Repeat!!

Brilliant! Well done MB - very proud of you - you are an inspiration!

We are at a similar stage of the process (I’m doing W6 R3) this afternoon- yikes!) and the advice, experience, knowledge, and good old fashioned encouragement from you and others on here has been invaluable!

Hopefully join you at Week 7 soon🤞🤞

Enjoy this afternoon's run. At this stage, it's (just) mind over matter because your body is definitely ready. Let us know how you get on. You've got this !

That's gorgeous! I miss running along the canal!

No need to worry about the lappers...they started the same as you at one point...

Exactly. This nubile 20-something sailed past me with her glossy ponytail swishing along, like something out of a magazine, not even breaking a sweat whilst I was blowing like an old steam engine, and I thought "maybe I'll run like that one day" haha. Ever the optimist

Its like running the parkrun and you are congratulating yourself for finishing the first lap and whizzing past are the folks heading to the finish in record times...

I have the delights of Parkrun to look forward to, post graduation. I'll remember your comment above when I'm gasping round the course !!
