Into 3rd week of Ju-Ju’s magic 10

I ran the 1st run of wk 3 indoors yesterday, due to the 50mph gusts around here and the high number of widow-makers around our country lanes; last time I ran in high winds I was tonked on the head by a stick so I didn’t fancy chancing anything worse.

Just wanted to make a note of thanks for this programme, which got me running the full distance again. I know it was the shorter of the week’s three, but as a very fast walker (being so tall) I had a tendency in the past to log a session as a run, even though I’d walked lots / most of it... hence kidding myself that I was increasing distances but also frustrating myself that my actual running parts weren’t increasing - which is my personal goal. I hope that makes sense!

So thx for the sensible advice on this board and the plan, ju-ju. I’m really hopeful to crack it!

PS I do need to add that kidding myself that way has been for nobody’s benefit but my own - I hoped that going further would motivate me to keep going and help train my brain to be on my feet for those distances, giving me a feel for what they’d be like mentally, but all it seemed to do was wear out these legs I’m meant to be building 🙄
