A Well earned Rest

Hello everyone, l am still facing- up to W9.The thought excites me but,have been working hard the past three days; my diaphram aches,calf muscles ache after working up a 70 ft scaffold. But l had the urge today to get outside so,l ended up doing a 3 km walk along the river path at agentle pace; at the same time doing some easy breathing exercises.Unfortunate though it rained heavily at one point and there was an icy cold wind,but l loved it and it eased my legs.There is an impetuous streak in me,wanting to complete W9 all- in- though l'm glad l went for walk instead. Stevy.

Good for you for recognising when you are too tired to tackle that 30 min challenge that is week 9...much better to do it when you are up to it. That extra long run you did may have worn you out a bit let alone that hard work you have been doing.😊

Hope your wife is doing ok. xx
