W6d3 - Not pretty

So, a cold all week and an annoying cough. Last run last saturday. Out today, the 1st 25 min run. Wanted to stop but was determined to keep going, just kept going but slow. Stopped a few secs to cough and blow my nose! But, I did it. Oh and a tip: one tissue not enough on your first run after a cold.... 🤧🤧😷😷

Congratulations to you Leosmit on completing run 3 of week 6, you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER, just by coincidence I reran that very run this morning as I was not at a parkrun, I love the bit at the end when your couch says ".you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER" I like you will never get tired of that. 😊 🏃🏾

Thanks for your response. I thought I’d be so pleased to hear that statement but I was just so glad for it to be over I didn’t really feel I deserved it. I’ll hopefully enjoy a bit more the next time.

That 25 minute run of week 6 is the first of 4 of that duration, I am sure that by the time you have completed all the 3/25 minute runs of week 7 you will enjoy running for that time.

Poor you, not nice running with a cold, gloves and sleeves have been used as tissue substitute in the past 😉
