Still plugging away

On Sunday I completed run six post grad. It was hot and unpleasant but the main thing is I did it. I am working away at the moment but will make sure I run tonight or tomorrow to at least try and keep going!

Well done Jan for completing your 6th post grad run, I am about to run my third post grad run just before 9 am. The weather where I live this morning is a little cooler, the heat is not supposed to get going before 10 am.

My plan after I have completed 6 post grad runs is go by the 10% rule, increase the time of running by 3 minutes a week, so hopefully, maybe I'll get to 5K within 33 minutes, if not, certainly the next week where I will run two 36 minute runs and by then I should get to that magic 5k distance.

Well done! I really don't like running in this heat! 😓😓😓😓

[jan2563 Graduate in reply to Ang33333]

Well Done Jan! It takes some amount of dedication to get out there when you really aren't enjoying it, but you do it anyway. Good for you! 💪💪💪

Kudos to you!! I've been back on the couch for over a week now I think - disappointed in myself - no excuses apart from it being my birthday & we're in the middle of house buying - feeling a bit more motivated tonight, I'll get back out there tomorrow. Promise!

I’ve joined you back on the couch. Not run in ten days

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to jan2563]

Come on Jan! Next one will be brilliant! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😘

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to jan2563]

It's not easy to keep going is it! I got off the couch the day after I wrote my above post in reply to you ~ I promised publicly that I'd run the following day, so I had to! So now I'm back on it (not the couch!🤣) and it goes without saying that i feel good for it - alongside not running came comfort eating, low self esteem etc. - if you're anything like me you'll get back out there when you realise that you feel better when you choose to run than when you choose not to 😊 Hope that makes sense 🤔

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

Ladies life does get in the way but you’re runners and you’ll get back out, just like you did when you started. The great thing now is that it’s not if I can do it, but when shall I do it! Besides Flara I’m waiting to hear about your “Have a look, I’m running and I don’t care run”! I tell you it’s like graduation all over again! I’m excited for you! ❤️
