W8R3 in the bag!

Week 9 I'm coming for you! A bit of a ground out run tonight, I haven't had a chance to run since Friday because of life just getting in the way and went straight out tonight as soon as I got home from work. I was in a rush to be done as I had an appointment at 7pm and was cutting it tight time wise and I think this is the reason for my pace being a bit faster than usual. I don't know where in my mind I thought going faster would change the fact that I had 28mins to run regardless and gosh it was tough! Struggled with being out of breath a few times so will slow it down a bit and take week 9 a little bit easier. On the homeward stretch now! I also hit my first weight loss mini goal today,having lost 20lbs since i started all this running and sensible eating lark at the start of April 😁. Strava is cheating me out of 7 seconds, I swear I ran til the very end! Happy running everyone

Well done! Yea very easy to let time pressure you. Extra stretching may be needed!

Keep up the good work 👍😁

Congratulations and on the weight loss too - I wish I had knuckled down to that in April - I started tracking what I am eating this week (holidays etc got in the way).

I know what you mean about feeling you should run faster to get it out of the way! 😂

Home stretch in sight.....

Thank you! I've tried slimming world and other things in the past which have worked but slowly bad habits creep back in. I'm determined that this time I've made a long term change to just be healthier. My weekly weighing will be done once I reach my next 10lb goal. Good luck with your tracking!
