W6 done and dusted!!

[Hymertrails]

Went out for a morning run today given the deteriorating weather situation and W6R3 completed. I wouldn’t say it was easy today as mentally I was full of doubt, clock watching and listening for Laura who seemed to have gone very quiet!!!

Once I heard the 20 min call I was happy and felt mentally better. For me at the moment it seems a battle with my legs, I never feel out of breathe but the niggles with twinges, aching ankles and knees is my main hassle. With just 3 weeks to go I’m conscious of having plenty of rest between these longer runs and if each ‘week’ stretches out over 7 days so be it. Even though I’m keen to graduate I want to enjoy the longer sessions and learn a bit about how my body is coping...

According to Laura though I’m a runner, who’d have guessed!!!

A great run today. My run week is a calendar week and that extra rest day is good.

Happy running 😀

Thanks Dolly-dot, so far I’ve stuck to Mon, Wed then Fri or Sat but I’ve a few commitments looming that will disrupt that so may take advantage to squeeze in some extra rest!!

I thought we were runners at the end of week 5 😂😂😂 but well done to you. Looks like I may have to do mine in the storm tomorrow. Or take a couple more rest days 🤷‍♀️

I believe we are runners after W1 to be honest but my app is telling me I am today!! The weather looks shocking tomorrow, not so much the rain but here in Swansea we have 60-70mph wind forecast which is probably a bit silly to run in, something might hit you!!! Could be handy as a tailwind but knowing my luck I’d be running into it, glad I went out today!! I’d be inclined to rest a bit more and wait until it passes💨🌧🌧💨

Well done! Yes, take the extra rest if you need to 👍😁

Thanks Wenderwoo I’m extra aching tonight as after my morning run we took the houndies for a forest walk and they managed 3 miles so I’m well and truly shattered! Rest day tomorrow and I’ll see if I’m ok for W7 on Monday, 25mins again oh joy...

Congratulations, according to Laura you ARE now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER, onwards and upwards to week 7. 😊 🏃🏾

Looking forward to it, apparently 😳😳😳

Great job. Keep taking the right rest for your body and doing strengthening work where there are any weaknesses. Happy running.
