Woooooooo

Ok that was probably too much woooooooo but I decided to go out and have a go at W2R3...after 12 days with a grotty chest infection, sinusitis, and then a strainer back caused I think by the coughing...

I doubted that I would manage it with it being so long but I DID and it was pretty ok 😀. Even Stan the Gremlin was quietly impressed. But now I'm confused...Should I try a week 3 run next or should I hold at Week 2 just to make sure I've built up enough to cope with week 3? 🤔

Yay! Well done you. Go for it, do wk 3 I'm sure you will be just fine and if not then just repeat week 2. You may just surprise yourself. 👍👍

Thanks...I think I will try week 3... It will be no shame to drop back to week 2 if need be. I was very pleased with tonight's outcome as still chesty and coughed a bit in the recovery walks. But managed each run well, ,slow but steady and when I looked on Runkeeper I was no slower than previous runs so very pleasing...I'm a few pounds lighter than I was on the last run so that's good the less my wee legs/knees have to carry the better.

Good for you MotherPip . Glad you are feeling better..(up to running that is)😊

See how you feel next time you are due to run, then decide which run to do.. there is no rush. xx

Carry on...but remember to keep it as slow as you like and steady! Glad you are feeling back on form.

Well done for shutting Stan up!
