Week 7 Run 2...

14 Replies

Well that's another run over and done with and another run closer to graduation. But wasn't it a hard run today. All of it accept the last 60 seconds where I was able to pick up my speed to the finish line. Throughout the entire duration on that run I felt as if I couldn't make it. The string winds didn't help either but that aside, I did it. Guess I could classify it as a bad but successful run.

Last run of week 7 due on Sunday but I'm working nights for the rest of this week now so I'm going to leave that run for Monday. Ran 3 times for this week anyway.

Well time to get inside where it's warm now, soak in a hot bath and then breakfast time.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Done is good. Enjoy the extra fitness you've earned. But -- week 7 -- you probably need an extra rest day. I sure did, and didn't really stop needing them until week 9 some time. Take two days...

Thank you. Going to have the weekend off now as I'm working nights so will return on Monday. Get a good enough workout at work anyway, up and down stairs all night.

Ha ha Donna I don’t believe you speeded up for the final 60 MINUTES!

in reply to Dw58

Think because I just wanted the run to end. Made no sense me speeding up though because it's the same duration left. Haha.

Just reread what you said. Lol. My bad. Meant seconds. 😀

Ooh I missed this one. Well done you sometimes the bad uns are the most satisfying, because you worked at them. Hope you had a nice long hot soak...

Well done Donna, My first run was Monday today Thursday and I am thinking to give it go, feeling a bit nervous, my pace is slow I would like to increase but if I do I get tired, so let you know later about the run.
