Toughest run so far

[Dowat]

I did W8R3 yesterday and it was totally tough! Previous 2 runs had felt good. Took all mental and stubborn resolve to complete this one. Think I ran too soon after eating amongst other mistakes. Just hoping next run is more successful having got this far. It’s taken a good 5 months to get here, so want to have a good final week. Here’s hoping.

So get this! I am at just the same stage and had sort of thought it might be easy by now. And it's not! Still there is the huge buzz of having done it, especially when it was hard. Let's keep at it. I know I feel better for it and surely one day we will just fly!!!

You’re absolutely right! It’s good to know others are feeling the same at same stage. I’ve just done W9R1 and again first 10 - 15 mins felt very hard. But I’ve completed it which is the main thing. We will get there now. Enjoy your runs.

Well done, my Run 3 tomorrow hopefully hope your week 9 is a good one.

Fabulous to be doing your run 3. Have a lovely run and enjoy. I certainly want to enjoy my last two. Very excited!

I think at the start of all the runs the gremlins appear but then the thought comes in I am not stopping now and doing it again and they then disappear as I get in to my music just waiting for Laura to speak.

[Dowat Graduate in reply to Papillon17]

Yes you’re so right. I also stubbornly persevere so as not to do it again!

I don’t care speed or distance whilst these are nice to know it’s having that stubbornness to just keep going. Good luck with your next one.
