Week 8 run 1

11 Replies

I’ve had a few days off running with work stress and poor organisation. And then I had a fantastic run this evening.

Knees feel a bit sore now but I think that’s because I did the vacuuming when I got in 😂

Sounds stormy again outside. I’ve lost track of how many storms we’re having.

Sorry I haven’t been around to post either. But I hope everyone is doing well.

Congratulations on that run Charlotte, perhaps you could have waited a little longer before doing the vacuuming, onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 8, not long now until you graduate. 😊 🏃🏾

Hi 1710charlie, wow W 8 already, that's great! Won't be long now till you graduate 🤩 hope the storm has passed and give your knees a couple of days rest. Happy running 😄

Thanks Moosey. Knees feel quite a lot more normal now. Depending on the weather I may run tomorrow but I’ve noticed how much difference a second day off makes. We’ll see.

Where are you on the plan? Graduate or still building up?

I am on W7R1 and so far so good. I won't be able to run for a few days as am away. Not easy not to run, I have been bitten 😁😁😁

Well done. 👏👏👏

Vacuuming is bad for the knees, I should cut it out of your fitness regime immediately.

I was going to check that out on the dusting and vacuuming forum. 😂😂😂😂 thanks for the advice. So glad I have an expert opinion 👍👍👍

Oh I agree definitely the vacuuming (better give that up...you don't want to damage your knees. 😉). Well done, 1710charlie, you are doing brilliantly. 🤝🏃‍♀️

A fantastic run does wonders. I hope you are feeling the benefit of yours. Not long to go now! 😊🏃‍♀️

Not what you're looking for?
