Confession time πŸ˜‡

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 πŸ₯— 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 β€˜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 πŸ˜‡. DD xx

Doing a Week 6 Run 2 is going to feel easy now... πŸ˜„

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

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 😜

I definitely missed a run, no harm done.

Glad you had a good one. 😁

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.

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.

Ooooh 😳. Hope I don’t get on that πŸ™ˆ.

Thank you for explaining πŸ‘

in reply to karen50plus

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

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 πŸ‘. 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 πŸ‘.

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 πŸ™ˆπŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

πŸ˜‚ 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. βœ…

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

Tee hee...why not. You must have been ready. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜πŸ˜Ž If sometimes our inner self can put us off why not occasionally have one that pushes you forward. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

in reply to Nilsam

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

🀭 πŸ˜† πŸ˜‚. 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 πŸ˜‡.

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