Week 6: Six Feet Under These Velvety God-Given Clouds

[Mosibyl]

Wowza! W6D3 had me running the whole 22 mins. I didn't mind a bit as W5D3 and all the other runs before then had prepared me for this day. So off I went from Day 1 to Day 3.

I decided to take a different route for Day 3 and kept running until Sanjeev whispered delicately into my ears to stop and start walking (Oh Sanjeev! Things you do to this lady). It was then that I realized that I was lost and quite a ways from home (14 mins, to be precise). But I didn't mind one bit. I whipped out my phone and mapped my additional 9-min walk home. And it felt good.

I completed W7D1 yesterday and I just kept going round and round (did laps around my building complex) and I realized how much I DID NOT miss the walking intervals. It didn't come as a surprise to me because I've always been the rip-off-the-bandaid-quickly kinda lady.

I don't know if I can now call myself a runner but this life I have created for me is one I am very thankful for. I came home yesterday after my W7D1 run high as a kite and thanking God for the velvety clouds I ran under.

PS: I have not lost weight yet. If anything, it seemed I gained about 5 lbs in a week. This is an anomaly as I have never put that much weight in a week. I am chalking this down to increase muscle gain or something else. But my clothes fit better and I see my face and thighs more chiseled. Has anyone experienced this?

Thank you all!

Mo!

Great run , as for your weight try and keep track of what you're eating also the numbers on the scale at not everything as you've noticed change in shape

You’re doing well. I haven’t got any scales, but judging by my clothes and appetite I’ve put on weight. I’m always hungry. Hopefully from building muscles..?! It’s costing me a fortune in food and Lycra, this running lark! My bum has defo got bigger and my thighs. Either that or every pair of jeans I own has shrunk suddenly 😁🏃‍♀️

Thank you for your running stories. They have been great! I also have noticed a change in my shape. I'm on a weight loss journey too. The scales aren't everything. I have avoided my home scales on purpose because I know that the important thing is how your clothes fit. You're doing an amazing job out there, keep up the good work and good luck for your next run xx
