Week 3 started

[IgaT]

Today was my W3R1. I did it without my dog, as I wanted to concentrate on my breathing, not talking to and taking care of her (as she is still learning a proper behaviour during running).

I found this run exhausting. I blame for it the weather and my last two dinners, that were rather heavy. I suffered kind of stich and kind of cram in my right groin. Nothing serious, but made this run quite difficult. After last run, I think my brain had to much oxygen, as I had sudden kracking headache and pain in sinuses. Longer cool-down walk and longer than usual stretching session just after the run, plus long warm shower helped a lot

Regardless everything, I am proud of doing it and finishing the session. I am ready to run with Lori, my crazy terrier, on Tuesday and going another step forward Please weather be gentle on me on Tuesday.

Keep going all of you, wherever on the path you are! One step at a time Slow and steady

I am very glad I did it. I picked nice rout along the canal, so many nice views and a lot of nature. With Lori I'm running on the pavement (for now), as it is wider and she is not tempted to have a mid-run cool-down bath in the canal

I enjoyed nthe sun shining between trees, reflexes on the water Feeling of my blood pumping. And now, this relaxation and feeling of accomplishment

I think I found my motivational trick when my partner isn't here. As I have to go for a walk woth Lori, I'm just putting my running gear on (+some trousers and hoodie on top) and straight after the walk I'm going out for a run. With few sips of water in between Let's hope it will be working long like that.

Cheers
