Wk 7 run 3 in the bag 🙌🏼

[Foxyblue]

Went to bed last night a bit nervous, had felt so tired and headachey yesterday and my knees sounded like they had bubble wrap in them every time I moved. I was thinking that my weight and general unfitness ( not a word) was catching up now the runs are longer and that I’d struggle today.

But I woke up with a clear head and although my pre-run stretching felt clunky (not sure that’s a word either 🤷🏻‍♀️) I felt mentally ready to take on the challenge.

First 5mins of the run felt like forever as it usually does but by halfway I felt I was in a good rhythm with Jackson 5 and Wham helping me along 😂

Like all week for the first half of the run I told myself I’d be happy to just get to the end but doubt I’d have enough in the tank for a faster burst but just like every other run I surprised myself and was able to give it a little sprint finish. Knees didn’t bother me at all 😃

Still can’t quite believe I’ve got this far but I feel ready for week 8 💪🏼

Amazing well done! I definitely understand what you mean by clunky, I definitely feel like that a lot when I first warm up in the morning 😂😂 you’ll smash week 8, don’t worry!

Go you!! I so get this. I feel like a concrete elephant at the start of most runs but it seems to pass. Some of it is mental with me. You are smashing this. 💪🏻💪🏻

Thanks but let me be clear when I say sprint I do mean slightly increasing my snail pace 😂🙈 so yeah I’m smashing it but ever so slowly 😜

My sprinting is other people’s comfy jog! Don’t care as it feels awesome.

I think we should categorise our animals....

We have snail Pace, then we have tortoise and then we have the slowest of them all

Princess Tiny tears pace!..... Maybe when i find the grape feeder I will be able to sprint finish!

[Foxyblue]

It really does 😀

Yip Yip Yipee!!!!! So well done you!...

Clunky is definitely a word in my running vocabulary

I did mine yesterday so we are joining week 8 together!....

You got this!..... (and hopefully so have I)

Well done Lovely
