Tuesday morning was fine I thought I have cracked this running lark. Talk about pride before a fall. Late Tuesday I lost my voice completely, not much good if you are a tutor in exam season. Luckily I do not tutor Wednesday and Thursday so just stayed in feeling very sorry for myself and did not want to do much. I am slowly feeling better so today I just did a walk to see how it would go. I did a HUGE hill ( well I think it is big as I do not like upwards hills) and felt OK so back to week 8 tomorrow. Luckily week 8 is all the same run, I prefer runs to intervals. I will just see how it goes. I still hope to finish in a couple of weeks.

I would just like to add I ache. Jogging no aches, walking up hills my muscles fought back. This tells me I must start doing slopes.
