Hey guys!

Finally done with Week 3 and I actually enjoyed it, despite the dread of thinking I would not possible be able to run that long ๐Ÿ˜‚

Super happy to have accomplished it, and even though the jump in Week 4 is scaring me a little, I know I will get through it. Feels so good to have that goal to accomplish every time I step outside.

Funny thing is that Iโ€™ve been strength training for a few months now, but my cardio endurance is so bad! This is definitely helping me out - even with my strength training. And vice versa.

Onward to Week 4!

Thanks for that. Yeah absolutely! Iโ€™m excited about it ๐Ÿ’ฏ. Always am before a run. The โ€œfearโ€ was accompanied by a smiley face ๐Ÿ˜Š

The numbers look crazy but Iโ€™m at this point through effort, racking up the distance, and determination, so onward to the next! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ

Onwards it is Krummunde! Donโ€™t worry about week 4, everything you do is preparation for the next run and youโ€™ve got this far havenโ€™t you?! Youโ€™ve got this!

Good Luck! I didn't look ahead and only found out later what a big jump it was from week 3 to 4. It went okay, and it will for you too, you've done the prep!
