W6R1 - bit of an anticlimax after W5R3!

Felt like a bit of a routine, easy run today, albeit a tad longer, as I got right home on the warm down walk. Nothing much to say about it really, just a bit dull?!!

Another very wet run :-(

A routine, easy run? Would you have said that before you started C to 5K? And you were prepared to go out in the rain and do it, not sit at home in the warm watching telly. It sounds like it's working beautifully.

I didn't think I'd do the first run before I started this so I should be grateful for today! I am amazed at the progress in 6 short weeks despite today's dull run!!

Ha yes... as Now-runner_NeedsAttn points out...re-read your post...'a routine easy run today'😉

Can you believe you think that now!

Trust the plan, but isn't it funny how you feel the need to challenge yourself, more than asked. Plus you went out in the rain... and nailed it.

Rest day then R2. Stick with it KS69 as non-runner says its working beautifully.😊xx

Yep it is weird! I am pleased with progress however I sound today!! I just felt I didn't do much strangely!!

I did this run today, too and am definitely not feeling as happy or proud of myself...it almost felt like going backwards and am definitely not liking the walking in between any more! Still, onwards and upwards...we only have one more run with walking in between, don't we?

Exactly how I felt! Maybe I'll make the most of the next run then, didn't realise that was the last one with walking in!!
