OMG - Completed Wk 1 Run 2!

[quirkybee]

Wow folks

My run 1 was over a week ago on a Wednesday when we had the hot spell. I did think oh I won't continue with this, lol, but I've been busy like we all are and just haven't fitted in the 2nd run.

But I did yesterday, whilst doing my 10,000+ steps for Cancer Research. It wasn't too hot, was just right.

I thought it would drag like the first run, plus I gad to hold phone and listen out loud as I gave no suitable earphones yet, so that was a pain, but nevertheless, I did it.

I had that feeling in legs as if I'm thumping the ground, they just become heavy after 30 secs of jogging (if I can call it a jog lol), I look as if I'm running face down to the winning line 😂😂 I honestly don't know what's keeping me up haha.

Anyway, aside from all of that, a little part of me felt that it wasn't that bad. If I can increase my stamina through my other walking that I do, then I may just pull through with this. The crunch comes when I have to jog for longer than 60 secs 😂😂🙄

Oh, I think it maybe the Samsung automated voice, but she kept saying to control my breathing and go a bit slower and no, I wasn't hearing things lol, at least I hope not. That sounded odd to me because how would 'it' detect my breathing?

Run 3 next......wish me luck my lovelies 😅😆😆😃 x

Ps excuse my flushed face. I made sure I was hidden by the trees lol x Hope it's the right way up, it was in my gallery.

Well done! every run is step closer to your goal. Strange about your voice hearing you breathing! I often wished Laura would say more as the bits she says are so encouraging when you are struggling and I often kept going because I felt I couldn't let her down! Good luck with the next run.

[quirkybee Graduate in reply to KoKo30]

Yes, that's true, she is encouraging, thank you KoKo.

Keep it up, you are doing great.

Head up when running.........helps with breathing and general posture.

This is an exciting journey...... enjoy it!!

Oh........and good luck.

Good on ya girl! And massive respect for doing the cancer research steps! It's nice to put a face to the name😃 and trust me I look like a flashing red beacon when I stop 'running' 😥 Such an embarrassment😂😂

Onwards to run 3 👍🏻😀👟👟👟

Aww, thanks Lisa, means a lot. I don't know why pic uploaded sideways, there was no option to rotate either. X

Well done quirkybee 😊

Each run banked in your legs will help you with the next one. You are learning to run for a gradually increasing time, but its all worked out so that you can succeed. Take each run section nice and slow and steady, try to run lightly, taking shorter steps.. (no sprinting). Your breathing will settle as you get further into the programme.

Good luck, keep posting.😊

Thanks Jan-now-runs, yes I seem to begin jogging in a quick manner, then realise I should slow down. So thankful for the tips and advice 😊
