Wk 8 - coming to get you!

[curlyann]

Well Wk7 took a little longer than I planned. I did 3 runs and the third one was just one of those that was pure pleasure. Then I got an ear infection again and had to stop for a day or two. Actually, with other things too I ended up having 4 rest days, and some of you know what I'm going to say next!

" Would I still be able to run for 25mins after all those days off?"

So I did another Wk 7 run just in case. And guess what! I would and I did :-). It was a little slower, but once I got through the first 5 minutes and into a rhythm (of sorts) I found that I could keep going. Bit of a talking to around 15 minutes and imagined some of you guys running alongside and there we went until Laura said I could stop. So I think Wk 8 - I am ready for you :-).

Thanks to everyone and Laura for continued encouragement and support.

Well done! Bloomin ear infections! They are the worst aren't they! I wear a buff over my ears for most of my runs because of it

Good luck for week 8! Go nice and steady, you're doing brilliantly. Have fun!

That's an idea. And thank you :-).

The four day rest must have done you good. I think it takes several weeks to loose a bit of fitness and months to loose it all, so you'll be fine after 4 or even 5 or 6 days. Graduation is in sight so stomp on the negative gremlins

Thank you. That's good to know. And yes, I do keep shutting up the little devils. I still have to keep checking that this IS me that can run for 25 mins and then can do it again!

Pesky ear infections.. don't all these niggles know we have a badge to get!
