Week 9 Run 1 - Boring is good!

[HoagyM]

I've noticed that my posts of completed runs are getting a bit boring, and (thinking about it) that it's probably a good sign.

So here we go again... another 30 minute run this morning, went a little bit faster than the last one, it certainly wasn't easy but got through to the end.

Boring isn't it?! No "OMG I thought I was going to die" moments, no big dramas, just another routine 30 minute run under the belt.

And, given less than 2 months ago I could hardly make it through 60 seconds, I think that's a good thing!

Well done you. Two runs to graduation! 😊 Have you got the days planned in or are going to see how you feel?

[HoagyM Graduate in reply to BethMay]

Thanks - all my aches and pains seem to have gone now (I even had a 4-hour round of golf after my run this morning), so it's not so much how I feel, as how my C25k runs can fit in with my travel plans. And the weather may also play a part.

So the current plan (which may change) is to run (w9r2) early on Thursday morning before I set off on the first leg of my journey North... then resist the temptation of a run on a beach on Friday morning (my rest day) and instead do a walk... then resist the temptation of a run by a Scottish loch on Saturday morning (so a second rest day) and do a hike or cycle ride instead... and then graduate as I originally planned on Sunday on Skye.

But as you can see there are some tempting options along the way, so you never know

Well done. I prefer the boring runs!

This is how I feel. So my journey is going to have gaps. Nothing to report! How good is it though, no way I could've ran 5K without stopping a few months ago. When I tried I ran too fast and struggled to breathe, then I ached for days after.

Sounds like you will be up on the graduation podium very soon! Good for you!

[Saartjie Graduate]

Well done! I'm sure your run on Skye will be far less boring 😀

[Myrar Graduate]

It's a brilliant thing ..Well done your nearly there good luck 😊

[Eiralas Graduate]

Definitely a good thing! Ah so many lovely tempting places to run... Good luck with resisting and keeping to your plan

[DeeRunning Graduate]

Boring is good! Well done on another uneventful run. That's the way they should be, making good and solid progress 😃

[SendWine Graduate]

When you put it like that, boring IS good, so here's to many more uneventful runs 🏃‍♂️

[Kar43]

Boring is definitely good then 😊 2 to go for you 😉 well done

[Marvo69 Graduate]

Well done Hoagy! Nearly there. Great to be able to graduate somewhere spectacular! I'm going to have to have a think about that!.

If boring = short posts = good then sallenson , DeeRunning and I have a problem!

Best of luck for Sunday

I suspect my post today heralds the start of much shorter ones. I'm thinking that I've pretty much said it all by now...

[DeeRunning Graduate in reply to sallenson]

I suspect you haven't...

[Lydia-jg Graduate]

Well done for steadily clocking up the runs, no drama must be a good thing. My beach run was amazing but gave my legs q a workout, plus had to jump to avoid getting my feet wet on lots of occasions probably a good thing to avoid! Best of luck for the week ✨👍🏻

[Gran4z Graduate]

Certainly is a good thing and then some more, it's Fab-U-lous as Craig H would say on Strictly!!

[Ang33333 Graduate]

Ha Ha! I agree! Boring is good. I hope my week 9 run 1 tonight is boring too!

[Tasha99 Graduate]

Fantastic! Well done 💪🏽
