Good morning running pals,
This morning I completed the last run of week 8. My goodness, if you had asked me in week 1 whether I would still be running 7 weeks later, I am not sure I would have had the confidence to say yes! But here I am.
It wasn't my favourite run – I enjoyed the last 2 28 min runs but this one felt a bit harder. Not sure why, apart from the fact that I was a little tired this morning, work has been kicking my ar*e a bit this week and I had trouble getting to sleep last night. Am sure that had some effect. But! When the going got tough, I just slowed down. Running through a park in long grass felt a bit hard work too, and my knees were a bit wobbly during the cool down walk, but after my usual stretches I feel okay.
Most of all, I feel like a runner. I am super proud of myself. I love the way running makes me feel.
Day off work today and tomorrow thank god. I have decided to reward myself a bit and go visit the lovely Run and Become store in Victoria to have a gait analysis and buy some new runners. Very excited about that!
In other news, the zombies didn't get me.
Love,
Sadie
Well done, glad the Zombies didn't eat you!! I'll reply more later, but I'm off tomorrow at least
You've done so incredibly well. You're nearly a graduate!!
Thank you, Neil! 😘
