W9R1 - almost there!

[Meedeb]

Hello everyone, well almost at the end two more to go. I headed for my W9R1 earlier this evening. It was tough as usual, I have a real love hate thing going with my runs at the moment 😂 week 8 wasn’t great I didn’t enjoy any of the runs at all. Today I seemed to find my stride around 6-7 mins in. I say stride but you know what I mean, still pretty darn slow. I managed a respectable 3.58km in 30 mins, good enough for me.....for now 😁 the last 10 mins were uphill phew I was done in at the end of it 😎 on my warm down brisk walk few mins from home I had a run in with a bee 🐝 got stung just under the eye. Ouch - arrived home very red faced, hubby helped get the sting out, it was still sticking out the soft socket area of my eye. Poor little bee, I had just popped my sunnies on my head and a gust of wind came up and the little fella flew into my eye I knocked it off my but realised he’d stung me. I love bees, I felt quite bad - he obviously didn’t make it, think he was pretty battered and lost his sting so either way he was a gonna. First sting ever - 54 years, a tad swollen but hopefully down by the morning. Anyway just saying hello - happy running. 🏃🏼‍♀️ enjoy the rest of the week. 😎

Well done. Yeah I did not enjoy weeks 8 and 9 as much as I’d hoped. Of course graduation was it’s own award. Week 7 was the best for me, and then my two most recent consolidation runs have reached those heights again.

As my mum always said “Never bee flat. Never bee sharp. Always bee natural.”

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
