Finished week 8 in a dramatic way!!

Well, the rain had stopped so off I went after a stressful day at work. Paths were slippy in places but I was taking care! I was 3K in when I met a couple of ladies standing on the corner having a chat. I tried to negotiate my way around them but instead decided to dive to the floor in a spectacular way! I then had to walk a little but was determined to finish my run. Off I went again but then realised I must have pulled my groin. So it turned into a very slow run for the last five minutes! My elbow is now huge and I can barely walk but only three more runs until I graduate!!

That looks AWFUL! If you have got a groin strain, you probably ought to rest that for a few days. Well done for persevering! 🙌

Ouch, you poor thing! Rest up and hope you're healed up soon.

Thank you. Had a good soak in the bath with some Epsom salts in.

What a trooper , even after falling you continued to run you may need an extra rest day if you've hurted yourself . Good luck 😊

Thanks. I can barely move now as I have stiffened up! Might need a few rest days!

I am very determined, or should that be stubborn!

Stubborn is good. I used a lot of it throughout the c25k. Please keep posting to let us know how you’re getting on x

I can relate to being stubborn. Wouldn't have got this far otherwise. Take care of yourself.
