Managed to run week6/run 3 today after giving up last Friday. I repeated run 2 on Wednesday and it went well. Today I just started a bit slower and kept saying โ€œyou can do thisโ€. Also decided I didnโ€™t want to repeat week 6 again ๐Ÿ˜‚. Onwards to week 7. Oh and it was easier today as it was not so warm !

I was a repeat of W6R3 today too, we got this now! Looking to see the difference by the end of Week 7 with how I find this run as I enjoyed my route so will probably do the same one for the next 3 runs!

I live in a hilly area so Iโ€™m stuck with a small number of routes whilst I get my stamina up to get over some of the hills. Today I had two little hills for the first time, it caught my breath but I got it back to continue!

Well done on the hilly routes ๐Ÿ˜. Itโ€™s good to have a bit of hill to change the tempo. Iโ€™m going to try a different route next week , Iโ€™ve been hiding from people so far but now Iโ€™m hoping I wonโ€™t want to stop if people are around ๐Ÿ˜‚. Good luck ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Iโ€™ve found people to actually all be nice, itโ€™s quite nice waving or saying hello to other runners no matter how red-faced I am ๐Ÿ˜‚

I did get overtaken by a fast walker this morning though which was a fun new experience and then some guy was literally lapping me while he was sprinting around a field I was going at snail pace around! It kept me motivated to not stop! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Keep at it, we will get there ๐Ÿฅฐ. I did C25k a few years ago and went on to do 5k and 10k but injuries time and age got in the way ! Lockdown and reading posts on here mad3 me think maybe I could do this again. Iโ€™m chuffed that Iโ€™ve reached this far. Hereโ€™s to next week ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š
