Week 9 run 1

In the past two weeks I’ve only run twice so this was a struggle but now completed. Shows how the program sets you up to be able to achieve something we all feel is unreachable just a few months previously. I’m not sure why I’ve lost momentum in recent weeks - I’m not as “excited” by the challenge. The freezing temperatures not helping, as well as a poorly husband taken down with the flu. But I’m running for 30 minutes non stop, no idea RE distance. But I’m a runner, and it’s a habit, and I’m not going back to the couch! Keep it up everyone - we are all doing so well just to be trying!

Sorry about your husband having the flu, hope that clears quickly, congratulations to you on running non stop for 30 minutes on run 1 of week 9 in the freezing weather, it should get milder soon, only two more runs until you graduate, good luck.

I think you're doing great, just re-read perfectly understandable reasons for lack of enthusiasm. At w8 I found trying out new routes for each remaining run gave me the boost to get to graduating without getting bored. Good luck

Great job! I was a bit discouraged in week 8 and worried that I will need to force myself to do week 9 but... the excitement came back after W9R1! So fingers crossed that your running spark will get stronger! 😁 You are almost there!
