week 7 shocker......

[kutch70]

Managed run 1 ok, but run 2 this morning was truly appalling.....Had to walk for a few seconds a couple of times. Boo. I was a bit hungover, and it was also the first time I went without Laura, just listened to my own music. Could that be the problem? I mean no Laura, I get that running with a hangover isn't ideal!

Just one of those things I reckon. I'd blame Laura if it were me, I can't give up a drink so easily Lol. Anyway you got out there so well done. Next one will be better x

Thanks! You're right I still went out so should feel good about that. My brother in Oz is doing the programme too and he went out the day after 1.5 bottles of wine plus beer!! Mind you his run might be a bit easier on the eye than mine......

Probably best to save the drink until you relax afterwards and put your feet up. I had a good run today (W3R1) and am now relaxing with a glass of red! Enjoy your next run. Best wishes.

its a long old run when you're not feeling 100%!!! I've only braved 1 run without Laura so far, it was quite liberating but i went back to her for weeks 8 &9..... But its nice to have a drink too I'm off for one now!

I think you did really well. If `I have had a drink the night before I never run before 3.00pm and rehydrate all day with lemonade- something to do with the correct amount of salts and sugar (apparently). Laura does help so much by keeping your motivation but you still got out there and that's great!
