Wahey!! Yipee!! Week 5 Race 3 :D

[Rosey21]

I did it, I did it, I did it!!!

I haven't done any running since last Wednesday because I came down with a cold and a nasty chesty cough I really wanted to do it and came on here for advice, deciding to leave it and try again when I was better. Well, that day was today and I'm so happy because it killed me staying still! Say what???

Anyhoo, I've done it!!! Last 2 minutes nearly broke me but I was determined after coming so far and boy do I feel good. I still can't understand how its possible but it is...

Wooooo!! *Does the robot*

Well done to you guys who've recently completed race 3 and good luck to those who will be giving it a go. You can do it, just think you can and you will! Worked for me

hi well done to you i did this earlier and so pleased with my self. its a great feeling to finish . know what your saying about the last 2 minutes lol. but well worth it .

[Rosey21 Graduate in reply to zee11]

Well done to you too! I broke into a little dance when I finished, I just couldn't believe it! Still can't! And those last 2 minutes seemed longer than the 18! LOL Keep it up zee!!

[zee11 Graduate in reply to Rosey21]

just hope i can walk in the morning !!. you going on to wk 6 now? as she said could repeat wk 5 if wanted to.

[Rosey21 Graduate in reply to zee11]

LOL I know! I'm normally achey, so with the effort my legs put in today, I'm bracing myself for what lies ahead!

Yep, onto week 6, we're unstoppable now...

[rubbishrunner Graduate]

Congratulations! Was wondering how you were getting on, so brilliant news! Good luck with week 6!

[Rosey21 Graduate in reply to rubbishrunner]

Thank you!!! How are you getting on with the program? On week 6 now aren't you?

[rubbishrunner Graduate in reply to Rosey21]

Yes, did run 3 yesterday, did struggle through it a bit but did it! Hopefully it will get easier (?!) as I do more 25 minute runs in week 7! Anyway, all good at the mo

[Rosey21 Graduate in reply to rubbishrunner]

Wow! Well done you! As they say, nothing worth doing is ever easy so keep it up! I think it will get easier as our legs get stronger but I think running will always be a challenge full stop lol

[tcaldwell75 Graduate]

Huge congratulations and glad your are feeling better! Do you run "in public"?! I always feel like doing a little dance after completing each run but have had to rein that feeling in and end up with a little air punch instead for fear of making a complete fool of myself! However, I am only 1 run away from W5 R3 and when I complete it (was going to put "IF I complete it" however, I am trying to remain positive about it and take confidence from those who have recently done it!!), so I may have a celebratory dance heehee! Good luck for week 6, I'll be following on your heels, but 2 runs behind .

[Rosey21 Graduate in reply to tcaldwell75]

Thank you I do run in public but when my 20 minutes were up I was in a secluded part of the park so I got down with my bad self big time! LOL Tbh, even if I was on a busy road I would've done a dance because it's a huge achievement! So, with that said, I expect to see you blog about your dance moves when (not IF) you complete it

Good luck!!

Congratulations, such a great feeling to complete this. Well done and keep going

[Rosey21 Graduate in reply to Zagel]

Thanks Zagel It really does leave you with a great feeling I still can't stop smiling! How are you getting on?

[Zagel in reply to Rosey21]

Week 6 run 3 tomorrow night, just amzed i have got this far, started in April and got out of breath going up stairs heh.

Such a great feeling when you complete a run

[rubbishrunner Graduate in reply to Zagel]

Good luck, Zagel! You are doing so well

[Rosey21 Graduate in reply to Zagel]

Hehe, tell me about it! Those days are long gone now though eh Good luck for Friday and keep us posted

[Barney019 Graduate]

Well done you!! I did mine yesterday too - how fab do you feel, I am still smiling! I gave myself a little clap and a cheer as well and then got a bit teary! Good luck with week 6...!!

[Rosey21 Graduate in reply to Barney019]

Well done to you too matey!! I'm all smiles still too, it's an amazing achievement when you think back to week 1! I must say I got a little teary too as although I like to be positive it seemed impossible and once I'd done it I just couldn't believe it..still can't

Good luck with week 6 too, keep us posted

[fastdixie]

Yay...well done Rosey...you are in the 20 minutes club...how on earth do we do it?! haha I loved it when I completed it, so proud. Annoyingly I seem to have an ankle sprain so goodness knows when I can start week 6...must be a little how you felt when you couldn't get out because of your cold

[Rosey21 Graduate in reply to fastdixie]

Hey fastdixie - Thank you & well done to you too I still can't believe it, I remember starting week 5, seeing the last race and thinking 'yeah right', but here we are Amazing

I'm so sorry to hear about your ankle and you're right, it's not nice when you want to get up and out but something is holding you back...

Take this time to relax and pamper yourself - I bought some running mags when I was ill to get more clued up and also to find where to buy some georgeous running kit!! It may actually be good for your body to have a little longer to recover, seems to have worked for me

Keep us posted & well done on your success so far!!
