Week 5 Run 3

[Michele2017]

Had a really stressful day yesterday, one child was sick and was late for an appointment so was worried that I would miss the run. I had very little sleep.. but by 5 o clock last night I was gagging to go out.

I cannot believe how quickly it passed and that I was able to run for that long. I jogged up two small inclines ( Massive hills when running) and knew when it was down hill I had it conquered. I was very slow steady and had a great pace by around 12 minutes. Had achey knees and hip but not real pain.

I didn't feel that elated at the end just calm ( maybe because of the stress). Needless to say when I put my kids to be at 7 I feel asleep instantly with them for a few hours which was amazing as I get very little sleep. When I woke up I felt like I had been put under as my sleep had been so deep. A real benefit. I'm not that stiff this morning either.

So week 6 next, quite looking forward to the stop start thing again, just to change things around. Thank you all on here for support.XX

Very well done you... I am constantly in awe of the Mums and Dads heading out after the days activities! I know after we have small runner in training for her two days a week, I need recovery time! Just two days!

So glad you got out and the sleep was obviously needed You did brilliantly.. and now, time to move onto the lovely long runs.. time to relax into them and let the legs find out what they can really do xx
