W9R2 hardcore!

[FitterFor40]

I really want to graduate before Monday, as I'll need a week off...so today's run is after a single days rest...AND out in the rain. Hardly anyone else out, so great to have the path to myself. Also can't help but remember what I used to think of runners in the rain....how hardcore, they must be really focused and disciplined to run in the rain! 😂

Having said that, my speed was slower...could be a mix of the one day rest...and I didn't stretch out after the last one (got caught up talking to the neighbour)...and a niggle in my heel on today's run...and not having eaten since lunch? Okay, okay, it's most likely the niggle slowed me down. The fear of a returning injury made me aware of how I landed my foot the rest of the way 🙈. ...good news, cold blast with the shower and it feels ok now. I'll aim for two days rest then bring it on W9R3 😁

Well done, almost there, I remember my excitement was through the roof at this point, bring it home lady 😊

We are in exactly the same place. I did my run 2 yesterday. Ran in the rain for the first time and loved it. Will probably go for run 3 on Monday. Exciting isn’t it 😁

I'm even dreaming about my next run....although hope my actual run will be more successful than the dream one...I needed up chasing my water bottle as it rolled in a big circle round me.... weird!!

Very exciting...what would we be like if it was for a race? Maybe by the time park runs are back, 5k will be a breeze 😅

Excellent work! Well done and enjoy the final run 🎉🎉🎉 I'm hoping to do my W9R3 on Tuesday as just did R2 this morning

[FitterFor40 Graduate]

Well done getting out in the morning....I haven't been able to do that yet. 🤜

[TallTeal2020 Graduate in reply to FitterFor40]

I actually like morning runs best but once I'm back at work that may change as I'd need to start at 6am!

I'm tempted to do mine 9/3 today as it's gorgeous weather here 🌞 and possibly a sign I should just do it BUT im resisting the urge and going on my bike instead 😁

Good luck with your final run.

Me too.... I look at other runners and can’t believe I’m one of them. Before I started this I’d never run anywhere. W9R2 today. My aim was to do 5k on my birthday.... this Weds. Well, it probably won’t be 5k but I will graduate with a huge smile on my face like the rest of you 😄🤪😃. Let’s smash it W9ers!! 💓
