Wk 8/3

[PeggySusi]

The first five minutes were the hardest today.. I thought about giving up several times.. I decided to run on a very slightly uphill gradient for the first half of the run, so that the return would be easier, but regretted it almost immediately! It did get easier after the first ten minutes though.. and I ended up disobeying Laura and actually ran for 33 minutes..! There was a reason for the disobedience.. I wanted to make sure I had run for at least 2.6kms as I was doing this run as a fundraiser for LimbPower.. And today my leg was absolutely fine.. 🤸🏿‍♀️.. onwards and (slightly) upwards! Week 9 next.. unbelievable...😊

Well done! Am hot on your heals at run II, week 8.

Thank you Symi.. I suspect you will overtake me as I am a snail and I feel no shame in taking extra rest days! Looking forward to the final week and to carrying on with running afterwards though.. hope you will enjoy your last week!..😊

Uphill? flipping well done

[PeggySusi Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Haha not exactly uphill - I did say slightly.. it’s a very tiny incline because I run on an old railway line.. it just feels uphill to me if it’s not downhill I think..😂

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to PeggySusi]

Well if it’s not downhill or flat then for the purpose of running it’s uphill and you have my admiration

[PeggySusi Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]
