Week 7 run 2 much better (and even slower)

After my horrid run two days ago I was rather fearing this one, especially after a baddish night (hayfever) and all kinds of aches all over the place. But I was determined to do it today to earn the family feast we are invited to tonight. I made sure to go really slowly and now feel so much better than last time. The distance was even less (below 3 km) but I have new hope now that I can manage this. Now two days rest.

Thanks, I am sure I will. Have a nice weekend, too - with or without running!

Slow is the way to go, that way you can build up your ability to run. Well done and enjoy your feast !

It is hard to get out again after a difficult run, but you did it. Well done! Slow and steady is the thing and the success feels good, doesn't it!

Well done! I'm so slow it's untrue and I'm not sure I'm even managing 3km yet so don't worry!
