Week 3 wrapped up

Run 1 was OK, run 2 was absolutely lovely (fantastic weather, stunning sunrise, light legs) but run 3 this morning was really hard. I had a strong headache and burning legs that didn't want to run. I'm rather proud of myself for not giving up. Last 2 days at work were difficult and I'm feeling it.

On the plus side, I'm quite amazed that I'm beginning to be the kind of person who gets up at 5:30 in order to fit in a run before early work meetings !๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Amazing, well done you are a third of the way through! Take these two days off to rest and recover and bask in the warm glow of your achievements ๐Ÿ˜

Thank you! I'm very pleased indeed to have made it so far. Now I'm feeling a bit nervous about week 4, but I'm trying not to think about it too much ๐Ÿ˜

I found exactly the same in Week 3! That last run was just awful for me. Iโ€™m now heading towards the end of week 4 and the good news is itโ€™s been ok. Just remember the ๐ŸŒ and all will be good!

Iโ€™m full of admiration too at your early morning commitment! I canโ€™t even remember my own name when I wake up!!! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

It's very good to know you felt the same and still managed week 4 !

I don't deserve your admiration for the early runs ๐Ÿ˜† I simply don't have a choice if I want to make running a part of my routine, as my work hours are irregular and I sometimes get home very late (and exhausted) in the evening. Early morning is my only reliable option !
