Week 7 Run 1

[Michele2017]

Bit of a psychological one this as there are no more breaks but completed this today. Knees were a little sore and apart from the usual sleep etc, I am pre-menstrual so more tired. Ran a lot on grass to help knees. I saw 3 or 4 overweight people looking at me today and I felt like shouting " You can do this, the programme works, I may not look it but I am fat too , not really a runner! xx

Trying to be compassionate to my raging ego which wants to go faster at every turn but is still plodding along and achieving x

Plodding works... well done

Achieving is good!

👏👏👏 wow well done you!! You are powering through this! Did it feel different to the R6W3 25 mins? X

[Michele2017 Graduate in reply to alikayV]

Hello! Yes it felt easier when doing it, but harder at the beginning when I thought not this again, no breaks! Couple of days off now at least! X look forward to how you do on Sunday x

Well done for getting out there and making it through despite the tiredness! Slow and steady as you already know, it always works... Hope you'll enjoy the other runs even more.
