Hello Week 7!

[MinxyMissK]

I can't quite believe that I'm here! I struggled with my last run of week 3, but sheer determination got me through it. My splits tell the tale quite vividly. Mile 1 - 11.17, Mile 2 - 11.19, Mile 3.....13.36 hehe. I got through it though,and so here I am, a bit sore, and a bit tired, but ready for week 7!

Well done!! I also found the last run tough... But hey, we're 'proper' runners now!!

[MinxyMissK Graduate in reply to edqa233]

That did make me grin, as knackered as I was When are you heading out for W7 R1?

[lizziebeth57 Graduate]

Well done both of you. I just came in after doing it too. Success, even after the three glasses if wine last night!

[MinxyMissK Graduate in reply to lizziebeth57]

Yay well done! When are you tackling W7 R1?

[lizziebeth57 Graduate in reply to MinxyMissK]

Friday morning, probably about 7.30. I am then looking after my wee 6 month old grandson for the morning so that should be fun. On holiday from Sunday so will have to be running in Mallorca.

Well done! Last run for me was a nightmare so cant say im looking forward to week 7! Just happy to be dry and warm after wk6,3 i did in the pouring rain!

[MinxyMissK Graduate in reply to nic_bath]

Somehow I managed to miss the rain, here's to a better run for both of us next time out.

[Maria211081 Graduate]

Well done, all of you! I have just come in from Wk6 R2, so your successes will give me inspiration for Friday when I'll be out doing R3. Eek!

[MinxyMissK Graduate in reply to Maria211081]

You'll be okay - just don't stop lol!

[MinxyMissK Graduate]

I did really struggle with it. I think a combination of running after work, and still getting used to the running shoes made it a lot harder for me, my feet and knees were hurting and sheer determination got me through.

Am hoping that the first run of week 7 is easier. I'm just debating whether to go after work this morning, or wait until I've had a nice kip!

[edqa233 Graduate]

I'm starting week 7 on Friday morning. Up until now I've done a circular route with some tricky inclines, but this time I'm doing laps around a nice flat housing estate! Hope your shoes feel more comfy next time. Let us know how it goes

[Jigglemooce Graduate]

I am confused? Have you been able to run 3 miles already?

[MinxyMissK Graduate in reply to Jigglemooce]

I use mapmyrun, and those 3 miles are the total including my walking at the start and finish of the podcast.

[birdistheword Graduate]

I've been meaning to ask if people start the mapmywalk app as soon as they start the podcast or when Laura says run?! Makes me look like I'm running longer in time!

[MinxyMissK Graduate in reply to birdistheword]

I start as soon as I start the podcast.

[birdistheword Graduate in reply to MinxyMissK]

I might try the other option tomorrow just for fun! It's just not very accurate for the running time or anything?! Or that could just be me!!
