W8R3 done!

[Pigivi]

After 3 days of inactivity caused by some sort of bug that is going around here, I woke up feeling a bit better, even if with a slight headache and a bit of a nausea... The intention was there... I put on my running gear, fed the chickens, had a coffee, discovered the ipod battery was dead, lost all motivation to get this run done, spent some time online while recharging, chased a chicken that was laying in the grass, managed to find the dog but still could not find any motivation... Forced myself out of the garden - the real reason being that the dog needs a walk or the chickens will be dead by the end of the day

And then... my running road starts about 1 km after I leave the house (steep downhill 10 min walk) -I put on my headphones, pressed play and even before the 5 minutes warm up were up I started on a slow run - which ended 31 minutes later, just before the steep uphill km back to the house started!!! I am really surprised I managed and so and happy I did it: - Headache and nausea gone, and most important week 8 done and with overtime.

I don't think I could have got to this stage without this incredibly supportive community!

Some days our runs just don't have the best of starts when things get in the way but once you do finally get out there its such a relief isn't it. Time out to run is just great isn't it

Mine was reverse today, a brilliant run 2 days ago, same run today, technical hitchups like you, wasnt sure I wanted to go but went, hard work ! after 20 minutes I felt as if Id got into my stride but then my stride abandoned me. But I completed the 25 minutes asked of me, no music, nothing, as I couldnt get it to work, but so glad its out the way. Better day tomorrow. Glad yours went well though and I agree with the amazing support on here

yes, some days seem easy but some others are so hard... even if I say week 8 I've been following the program for about 15 weeks if not more! Good luck for your next run, it will be better!
