No running for 9 days !

[RunRunRun13]

I have been running since January and never had such a long break. So here are a few reasons why I haven’t run in 9 days !!!!

Weather was just too hot ☀️

Alarm set for early runs - turned off by me ⏰🤦🏼‍♀️

Fuzzy headaches (due to weather) 😅

Work, Work, Work 🤓

So you get the idea and the days have flown past but today I had to get out there again as getting annoyed with myself and missing it, as there always seemed to be something in the way for the last week so off I went at 4pm (still warm), had my Prince tunes and managed 5K !

I’m on Week 8 of Ju-Ju’s plan now so bit behind but have posted this for other people to see that it’s ok to miss a few runs, give your body a rest and there is no rush to complete either 5K or 10K as you will do it !

Next run - 9K ! 😳

You’re not the only one to have a break, I’ve only just started week 6 thanks to a virus and the hot weather. The virus has re-emerged this week so not sure if I’ll get all my runs in this week either 😔

Well done for getting back out there and getting 5k under your belt. Hope the fuzzy head’s cleared up too 🤞

Oh no Jill I hope you feel better soon, at least we are both a bit behind and I feel much better thank you for asking...think the extreme heat doesn’t agree with me, although eating the ice cream to cool down does ! 🤣🍦

[SeeJillRun 60minGraduate in reply to RunRunRun13]

I know what you mean about the heat, it’s far too much for me to cope with 😩 This week has been much more pleasant in comparison

I’m up n down at the moment thanks. I had this a couple of weeks ago n then it vanished for almost a week but now it’s back. It’s nothing major but it’s making me sooo hungry n I’m tiring very easily so it’s getting in the way of my running. Wish it’d just go away now 😤😂

Keeping everything crossed that it disappears soon. Xx

Thanks! Hope it works 🤞😃xx

Even the elites take a break from time to time... one Olympian I was reading about a few months ago takes two weeks off running and does no exercise whatsoever on his holiday. Nice to see you back out there and hitting that 5k up.

[RunRunRun13 Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you UNM ! I’m not a natural runner and still have to force myself out the door so it was nice to have a little break although between you and me I did miss it (sort of) 🏃‍♀️

Any run with Prince is a good run.

Well done getting back to it.

[RunRunRun13 Graduate10 in reply to Stephen_UK]

Thank you and we can’t go wrong with a bit of Prince ! 🎧 🎶

Well done for getting out there again. When I first read this I thought u were out at 4am!! 😀👍

[RunRunRun13 Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

Ha ha ! 4am would be a shock to the system and like running but not that much ⏰🤣

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Welcome back... and well done you!

[RunRunRun13 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you - it felt like weeks not days ! 🏃‍♀️

[backintime Graduate10]

well done, 5K is 5K!

[RunRunRun13 Graduate10 in reply to backintime]

Thank you and yes your right ! Hope your running going well too.

[Julia187 Graduate10]

Definitely doesn't hurt to take a break, I really think it helps the body to have a decent rest.

[RunRunRun13 Graduate10 in reply to Julia187]

Yes being not a “lover of running” it was actually quite nice, but dragging myself back out again was nice too 🤣 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Kertesz Graduate10]

Well done you for getting back out there... I was wondering how you were. I’ve also noticed an inverse correlation between heat and my running mojo... 📉!!! X x

[RunRunRun13 Graduate10 in reply to Kertesz]

Hello !!!! Hope your doing ok and still pounding the pavements.

Yes back to it after 9 days of heat....headaches...hormones !!! Not a great combination 🤣🏃‍♀️😅
