W7R1 and failure!

[jannerm]

Wow it's been a couple of weeks of fun and games. Busy with work, kids back to school, but been keeping going.....or trying to.

Had my first epic fail - W6R3 went to go for the first 25 mins and literally locked up after 2 mins!! Legs wouldn't move, was a bit breathless so stopped and went home.

W5R3 was epic! Really pushed myself to do the 20 mins, felt great afterwards, then W6R1 was a bit of an effort, thought I was -better- than that!!

W6R2 went ok, actually had recovered well before the walk ended and was raring to go again. Wish I knew how....

Then W6R3 fail. Went straight back out the following day and ran the full 25 mins. Took some effort but I felt great about it!

On to W7R1 and it was less of an effort, but still an effort, feeling much less daunted about it but still a bit nervous.

It really is a roller coaster huh?

It’s a trial run (what you term failures). Keep at it you can do this. It’s mind over matter.

Remember to warm up really well, hydrate , hydrate and hydrate. Yes it’s a roller coaster of emotions. But so worth it when your at week 9 and think how did this happen.

It can be. The F word doesn’t apply though, you keep trying, and you will, indeed do, succeed!

Hectic time of the year and suddenly we parents have free time slots juggled, it can affect the running.

Keep going, you’re doing great.
