Week 8, run 2, lesson learned!

Well, after having a few days off over the weekend and hubby's birthday yesterday, I decided I had to go out today. I usually run first thing in the morning, but I'm back at work next week, so I will have to run in the afternoon instead.

Anyway, to make a long story even longer, after lunch out I went and boy was it hard, I was praying for Laura to tell me it was all over and would have hugged her had she been there when I finished. So, two lessons learnt today, 1) try not to leave it so long until the next run and 2) don't stuff an almond croissant and expect to run like an athlete! πŸ˜‚πŸƒπŸ™„

Hope every one else is doing fine 😁

Some runs are like that but you did it, you dug deep and finished. Next time will be better. Mmm, love almond croissants! πŸ₯ πŸ˜‹

I don't suppose the extra days rest did any harm.........so all the blame can be put on the almond croissant.

Yes, I won't be having another one for a while, yummy but not too good for me 🀐
