Week 7 done!

Nice and early today as we decided to do it at home rather than go out in the super windy weather and risk getting blown away like Dorothy πŸ˜‚ possibly not quite as strenuous as it usually is but still got a sweat on so it's better than not doing anything at all, and I figure it's probably similar to doing it on a treadmill (at least, that's what I'm telling myself!!)

A full week of 25 minute runs under our belt, roll on next week which I can't believe is the penultimate week; 28 minute runs, we're coming to get you...!

The end is in sight πŸ€—

πŸ˜‚ yep! Back and forth between the kitchen and living room, plus round the living room and dining room... Slightly chaotic and a smidge unorthodox!

Probably won't do it again though, I much prefer being outdoors!

πŸ˜‚ it sounds big from my description but its not that big so lots of dizziness was suffered, by me! It's an extended bungalow so l the footprint is not a bad size, really

I thought you were being sarcastic. But you really did run indoors! Amazing!

πŸ˜‚ yep, totally did it indoors. Slightly insane, probably, but rather that than not go at all as the wind round here is PRETTY bad, thanks to Storm Callum πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜‚πŸ˜„

Not overly confident, tbh! πŸ˜‚ will certainly give it a good go and continue to put my faith in the program as its not let me down so far! I run with my 8 year old and for these longer runs we are struggling to find a pace that works for us both (but running outside in the dark, as a rule, means I want to keep him close, just in case!) so hopefully we can master that next week and then we'll both be happy πŸ™
