Week 7 complete - bit of a slog!

Had a break of 10 days since the first 2 runs of Week 7, due to illness and holiday. So I was a bit trepidatious about running 9K again. Have to say it was a bit of a slog, and my legs felt rather heavy. But I did it! Looking forward to Week 8, I think! πŸ™„πŸ˜¬

Hope fellow runners are enjoying the running. Thanks again for all support and encouragement. πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Thank you so much! I nearly gave up half way through but just slowed down a bit. Felt great to complete it. Thought of all the VRBs on here and that spurred me on! Hope your running is going well. πŸ˜€πŸ‘

Glad to hear your break didn't cause any difficulties - all the best for week 8 πŸ˜€

Many thanks JonathanP. I felt a bit slow today - not helped by being overtaken by a very tall guy loping along who soon disappeared into the distance! Mind you, his legs probably came up to my armpits, so he had a fantastic stride length. Maybe one day I will run a bit faster! Hope your running is going well. πŸ‘πŸ˜€

I'm sure you will!

Thanks - working my way back to full fitness after being under the weather recently. Managed 7.8k on Weds, parkrun tomorrow and hoping for 10k next week if the lungs hold out! πŸ˜€

Well done. I’ve had to have a break too and have lost my confidence a bit. You have inspired me to get on with my 9k πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Thanks! I know what you mean - I felt very unconfident when I went out yesterday. Although I guess we should have faith that all the running we've done so far has laid some good foundations! Best of luck with the 9K - will be thinking of you. πŸ‘πŸ˜€πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
