Week 8 Run 2 after 6 day break

[revruns]

I found the first run of week 8 pretty hard going, and not at all enjoyable, which is probably why I found it easy to find reasons/be too busy to do the 2nd run. Hmmm.

Felt more positive this evening and went out for my run. I did think about starting week 8 again, but decided to do run 2, then the 3rd one on Wednesday and then if I was still struggling I could always do the 3rd run again on Friday.

But, I had a really good run! Woo hoo! I felt as if I was going slower, but when I uploaded the data from my Garmin I was going at pretty much the same pace as last week. Feeling good about my running again after a bit of dip.

Looking forward to 3rd run on Wednesday and starting week 9 on Friday. Yay!!!

Well done for getting back out there again and glad it went well to re-enthuse you.

Well done you! I am doing W8 R2 in the morning after a similarly sounding difficult 1st run. I must admit I have probably been dreading it more than I have any other run for a while so I am so pleased to hear how much better you found it. Hope the positive turn continues for you and not long now to the finish line!

I'm on week 8 run 3 I did a 6.5km race at the start of week 8 so that counts for run 1 right? Run 2 seemed easy after that .Good luck with the rest of your runs we might finish at the same time.

Yeah, some runs just don't feel good and I do feel that's the time I need an extra rest day or a change of route. Other runs are just brilliant!

You are so close now to finishing the plan and graduating. Well done!

Well done on getting back out there and having a really good run. You are pretty much on countdown to graduation now. Good luck with your next run and best wishes.

Thanks for all your replies.

All this talk of graduation being close - I'm getting ridiculously excited about it!

The first time I went out, I would have stopped running after 40 secs I reckon, if it hadn't been for Laura urging me on. C25K is amazing!
