Week 7 - the good, the bad and the ugly

[New-runner]

So just completed week 7 after loads of encouragement on here following a difficult run in week 6.  Overall not too bad.  The first run felt good all the way through, just kept at a steady pace.  The second run started off with a distaster in that I left my phone at work and was too afraid to run without Laura so took a trip back to work before starting running.  Luckily after that it went smoothly. 

Then we hit today.  First time running in the rain and normally I don't run on a Friday but busy this weekend and so forced myself out.  Felt tired the whole way around but took the advice and slowed down to barely faster than a walk and managed to get around.  Unfortunately post run felt a slight pain in my knee so facing a few days on the couch to make sure I don't get an injury.  Disappointing end to an otherwise fairly successful running week.

You just finished week 7. 25 minute runs! In the whole scheme of things that is NOT disappointing

Out of schedule can throw all sorts of spanners, physically and mentally.

Give the knee it's time and you'll be back to it smashing week 8

More disappointed in hurting my knee than anything else.  Actually very happy that I'm getting stronger mentally and beating the gremlins
