W9 begins on Sunday :) :)

Well it's been a tough week at work, you know when you just want to say "I'm out of here" but without lotto that's not an option.

The saving grace for me has been my run nights, I just love running at the moment. I am still not fast or furious (except at work ) but R2 & 3 of W8 have been good in the sense I seemed to have found a comfortable pace that is quite constant and just allows me to run. I still don't have anything left to sprint in the last 60 sec but I have done 30 mins on all runs so hopefully in a good place for graduation week.

I hope everyone is having if not a good week at least an okay one. Happy running, we got this

Well done, your almost at the finish line, good for you.x

[Lorijay Graduate in reply to mairi1]

Thank you mairi How are you going?

[mairi1 Graduate in reply to Lorijay]

Mmmm! W8 R1 went fine but last night R2, total failure! usually run on treadmill but gym was closed last night so thought I would try running on forest track, too hot, too hilly just couldn’t do it ! ending up walking and feeling very peed of with myself my bubble has burst feeling pretty deflated☹️

[Lorijay Graduate in reply to mairi1]

I can't manage hills at all at the moment so I understand that. Its only one run and although I know I'd be peed (very polite) too you just pick up and head back to the gym. We are nearly there mairi, one practice run can't burst a bubble made up of so many completed runs. We can do this

[mairi1 Graduate in reply to Lorijay]

Thanks Lorijay, I just need to give myself a boot up the backside and get over it. Lol 😂

[Lorijay Graduate in reply to mairi1]

Yes, and I'll be looking for the successful run post

[Hidden in reply to mairi1]

Awe don't be deflated ,

Your doing great , I would not of even attempted to run in the heat let alone a hilly place in the heat .

So pick yourself up dust yourself off and give it another go 😊👍🏻

Not in the heat though 😘

[mairi1 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Aw thanks Jen, yes I was very silly even thinking I could run in last nights conditions. Back to the gym to give it another go.xx

[Hidden in reply to mairi1]

I started running back in January I have refused to run in the sludgy snow , ice , wind , rain, red hot sunshine, it took me 16wks to graduate, 😂 But I got there 😉

[mairi1 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Well done you for completing it. It really is quite an amazing challenge. 😘

[mairi1 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Jen, just read your blog and like you I hope to complete C25K before I am 58 , birthday at end of May so no pressure. Lol.😂

[Hidden in reply to mairi1]

I never completed C25K before my birthday 😂 I went on holiday instead

Good luck with your goal 😘

[18Windmill Graduate]

[Lorijay Graduate in reply to 18Windmill]

Thanks Windmill. So close but a little nervous.

[Ripcurlrana71]

Ooh Lori you’re right behind me!! 💫

[Lorijay Graduate in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Yep, I'll be right there to congratulate you on the podium before I set off for my run. Good luck, you'll make a great grad.

[Ripcurlrana71 in reply to Lorijay]

Ahhh thank you very much. x

Completely understand the work feeling - the current three weeks I’m coming to the end of are my busiest each year.

Well done completing W8. I’m determined to start it tomorrow morning but I’m wiser than two weeks ago and I’m not going to try to go to the end on alternate days like I was doing through W6 and W7. I’ll be a lap behind but pushing to the end!

Great to hear how much you are enjoying the running. I can’t wait to get back in the trainers.

[Lorijay Graduate in reply to Jay66UK]

I know you'll be pushing to the end and then to the podium my friend. Will be there raising a glass to you!!
