W9 R2 - too hot for pesky gremlins 👹 maybe (sorry wrong run initially)

[Reliclullaby]

Wanting to wait till the weather had cooled a bit we delayed this run till yesterday morning. It was still warm and quite sticky but much cooler than it has been and I’m pleased to say my mojo was back, it was my best run (jog) to date 😀😀.

Legs felt good after an initial 5 mins, no gremlins 👹 at all (don’t know if the heat was too much for them 😆) whatever the reason I’m grateful. Still at my good steady 🐌 pace, with the occasional flash of my inner 🐢 on a few occasions, which I’m over the moon with, good to know she’s not deserted me 😊. It was my fastest pace and furthest distance 🥳.

Onwards and upwards to the last run of the program now 😊🍾

Great, must be a good feeling to get to this point !

Well done ! 👏👏👏

[Reliclullaby Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Yes, it is amazing and still unbelievable at times. All thanks to this great program and the brilliant support of everyone on here 😊

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Reliclullaby]

Yes, I agree

Fantastic program and forum !

Very smart to delay the run, it was hot yesterday but Thursday was brutal... only an idiot would have ran, say, Thursday lunchtime... and as that idiot, I can say that it was anything but fun!

Enjoy that graduation run... the weather should be very friendly!

[Reliclullaby Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Ha ha you’re a brave one 😊. Thank you I am excited but still a little wary. Looking forward to it though as well 😊

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Reliclullaby]

Brave and dumb are closely related I think... I used to run late in the evenings when it was hot... but these days I’m like a caged lion on run days, so I’m usually unable to resist much past lunch!

This running bug is definitely addictive. It should come with a warning label 😂

[Tinytears60 Graduate]

Brilliant! Love the post ... spurs me on and I love the fact you’re almost there and it felt your best run to date! 👏👏 well done! It’s week9

My best run to date was W5r3 and I want that feeling to return..

One more run before you earn the fantastic badge of ‘Graduate’ I think it should also follow in brackets (awesome running person)

🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️ 🏆
