Blimey, that was hard W2R2

Blimey, the first run of week 2 was a shock but so happy I did it, if I thought the second run would be easier, it wasn’t. Legs felt like lead. Run 3 tomorrow, just hoping to feel more bouncey. Hope you know what I mean 🙂. Food intake is getting better and I’m beginning to think about what I put in, but my head sometimes says, oh I can have that because I’ve run today, I know I shouldn’t, but that’s my problem, it’s just getting my head around it all. Wish I didn’t love food as much 😌

Great job... they’re hard and you’re doing them.

That “you can have” voice is the same gremlin that says “you can’t do this” when you run. My daughter has lost a lot of waistline doing this... she likes chicken, so eats it a lot as her main meal on run days... I will cook some of her portion as soon as we get home, or have roasted the bird before we go out. She comes in and has a great protein as her post run snack and it’s not an extra.

"Run 3 tomorrow"? I hope you're writing about yesterday's run. It is really important that you give your body a day to recover between runs. It's fine to do other exercise on your "days off" but C25K is all about introducing your body to moderate exercise gently without risking injury.
