Week 1 run 2 done and I'm still alive!

[Lindsey-joy]

I was dreading today's run even though I found w1r1 fairly easy.

Yesterday involved gin. And wine. And prosecco.

The poor dogs didn't get a walk so I was up extra early today and we did a good 5 miles which made me dread the run even more.

I am running on a treadmill at the moment as i find it kinder on my knees otherwise I would have combined the run with the dog walk.

Anyway... i have just completed my run and yes, I found it harder today but I think that is to be expected after dehydrating yesterday! Let that be a lesson to me! 😂

I kept the advice i have seen on other posts "slower than that!" In mind and even though it felt weird and I probably looked like Chunk from the Goonies doing the truffle shuffle (anyone else remember that film?) I got through it and i am here to tell the tale!

Off to drink a lot more water now!

Have a great day 😀

Well done, keep at it, it will get easier.

Try and get outside in the countryside if possible

Thank you. I hope when i start to feel a little less self conscious I will 😊

Great job... dehydration certainly makes it tougher! I’m about to finish my second litre of water today... this heat really doesn’t help!

Im not sure why i find it so hard to drink water. Tea no problem. Water not so much!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Lindsey-joy]

It’s easier if you let the water come to room temperature and then just sip all day. I make sure my bottles are full at bedtime and when one is empty I refill it and switch to the other one.

Thanks for the tip. I will give that a go.
