Now lying on my bed sweating profusely and unable to talk but I did it without stopping. 2 miles covered in total and happy as Larry (assuming Larry is an overweight 50 something who's only regular attempt T running was running a bar tab)

Looking forward to my day off and psyching myself up for 2/2 if I haven't drowned in my own pool of sweat in the mean time

Time for a quick nap before work

Night zzzzz

Good job... and well done surviving 😂

It will get better pretty soon and you’ll be aware that you finish the runs easier. For now it’s just a matter of willpower sometimes. You’re doing great.

Good Job - and well done!

Enjoy the course, and when you have finished, head to West Park for ParkRun - nice bunch of folks, and the backdrop of the Molineux will spur you on :-)

Well done you! You are doing great! Even when, like me, you are more swimming in sweat than running. I have to do reallllllly long cool down, which recently is standard 5 min walk + 30-40 min stretches. Otherwise, even the cold shower cannot help me, and I would have to repeat the shower again and again :P

So high five for sweaty runners! We are still doing it! Today is my W2R2, I may be running in both sweat and rain which hopefully cover my own excess water ;)

Enjoy your rest day! Looking forward for your next post.

I'm doing W2R1 in the morning. Be a trail though as the ground is much softer.

You did 2 miles in WEEK 2?! That's all I manage now in 30 minutes a month after graduation. I suppose it's a good illustration of the difference between real runners and frauds like me who have "graduated" by hanging on for 30 minutes 3 times in a week. Maybe there should be a minimum distance for graduation.
