Confession time 😇

I humbly ask for forgiveness from the forum......

I don’t know where my head could possibly have been this morning but it appears it wasn’t on my shoulders.

Seeing a wind and rain window this morning, I seized the opportunity to get out for my next run. I sprung quickly into action. Running gear already on, it was just a matter of selecting a playlist and pressing the right run button on the app....

Quick chat at the door with husband and son returning from a windswept tennis match and I was off.....

Returned happy 35 mins later with W6 done and dusted. 😊

Showered 🧼, had lunch 🥗 and just sitting down to post run on the forum when with shock and horror 😲 I realise I’m about to post about doing w6r3 and I’ve completely missed w6r2!!! 😱

How did that happen?!

I’m convinced today should have been my final week 6 run. As I’ve run week 6 before it didn’t show as a ‘run to do’ on the app, so I missed it completely.

I humbly apologise to the forum for inadvertently forgoing a run. I know it’s not the done thing, but I’ve done it 🤭, sorry 😐 .

If I’d struggled today I guess I may have twigged sooner, but I was in a happy place at a happy pace - blissful ignorance, dreaming of my first Parkrun after all the wonderful advice I received in yesterday’s post.

So I guess there’s nothing for it but to chalk this one up to experience and promise not to do it again 😇. DD xx

Doing a Week 6 Run 2 is going to feel easy now... 😄

Or I guess Week 7 is more of what you just did.

[Sandraj39 Graduate]

You are (of course) forgiven ! Sounds like you had a great run - I love finding that 'happy place' !😀 Good luck with Week 7!👍🏃🏽‍♀️

[Hidden in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you! I Felt a bit guilty at first but laughing now! 🤪

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Oh, I’m sure we missed a run once so did it the next time, you are doing great I’m glad it was such a good run and no apology needed but as you have forgiveness is given

[Hidden in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you 😉

[Wenderwoo Graduate]

I had to go back in the plan after some time on the IC, and I know what you mean - I had to write it down to make sure I knew where I was, until I caught up. Never mind, one less run to do, lol 😜

[Speedy60 Graduate]

I definitely missed a run, no harm done.

Glad you had a good one. 😁

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

I did exactly the same thing.

Do W6R2 or repeat W6R3 before moving on.

It is not about what you can do, more a matter of what your body is conditioned to do.........keep up the gentle progression.

[Hidden in reply to IannodaTruffe]

I will, thank you. I’m determined to avoid injury and keep off the IC and make it to graduation this time so will be mindful of my next run.

[karen50plus Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Can I ask ..... what does IC stand for 🤔🤷‍♀️

[Hidden in reply to karen50plus]

Injury Couch😱

[karen50plus Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Ooooh 😳. Hope I don’t get on that 🙈.

Thank you for explaining 👍

[Hidden in reply to karen50plus]

Don’t land on the IC it can be painful 😖! Keep clear, don’t skip runs (🙄 note to self) and avoid it at all costs. It took me months to climb off it last time!

[karen50plus Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I did skip a week very early on ( week 3 in January because the weather was sooo horrendous) I was going to repeat week 3 but gave week 4 a go and I managed to do it 👍. Starting week 7 tomorrow 😳. Only found this site last week . It’s really good having people understand about the whole c25k thing. Still can’t believe I m doing it albeit at a 🐌 pace ....... but apparently according to all you lovely people , that’s 👍.

I m no where near 5k , more 2:5k in the time I actually run , but it’s a blooming sight further than I could do on 1st January 2020😳.!!!!! Hopefully by the time the clocks change in March I will be able to do 5 k . If not I will try for Easter .& if that s not happening , then I will aim for May Day !!!

I know it’s moving the goal posts but it’s not giving up 🙈🤷‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Hidden in reply to karen50plus]

Definitely to be dodged

[Comfortnotspeed]

😂 Hope you feel better for confessing. Have a good running week 👍

[Hidden in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

[DDJ2019 Graduate]

Shame. Shame. Everybody knows your name!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[Hidden in reply to DDJ2019]

😱 oh I know!

[Debston Graduate]

😂 You're keen as mustard! Well done, you could always do the Week 6,Run 2 as your next run if you want to? For the satisfaction of being able to tick it off. ✅

[Hidden in reply to Debston]

Hi Debston. I will, otherwise I’m going to feel that I’ve cheated otherwise! 🤭

[Nilsam Graduate]

Tee hee...why not. You must have been ready. 🏃‍♀️😏😎 If sometimes our inner self can put us off why not occasionally have one that pushes you forward. 🏃‍♀️😎👍

[Hidden in reply to Nilsam]

A pushy inner-self. Hmm 🤔. An interesting idea. I like it. Now I wonder what I’d call her?

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Do let us know? 😏👀😁👍

[Hidden]

3 Hail Mary and 1 Our Father should sort you out😂

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

🤭 😆 😂. I like it. But ..... I feel guilty, so going backwards and doing the missed run. 🤭 I think I’ll get the all clear if I do that 😇.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

There is NO guilt like Catholic guilt 😂

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I’m not, but I am a sucker for a guilty conscience 😱🤭

[Granspeed Graduate]

Perhaps you did it as a virtual run? Just forgot to log it ... 🤔 Whatever. 😊 Glad you had a good one today! 🎉

[Hidden in reply to Granspeed]

That’s it! It was all a dream! 😉☺️
