that took some fight with the gremlins this morning as i had been to the osteopath yesterday and didn't sleep much and was wide awake at 5:30.
went downstairs and made a cuppa, i was going to take it back to bed with me as i was tired , got back upstairs and i thought of all my friends on here (Yes, Friends !) that would also be running this morning, so i put my running gear on drank my tea went back downstairs did my dynamic warmup routine and was out of the door on my warmup walk at 6:05 😬
it felt ok, i was at a steady pace by 5 mins in (albeit a bit slow)
10 mins and feeling ok and enjoying my music, a real blast from the past with Jethro tull ! 😊
it was comfortable at this time of course as it hadn't warmed up too much.
got halfway and started thinking of my c25k journey , it .has been amazing, i ran every other day until i injured myself on week 8 run 1.
then 16 days later was able to jump straight back in at week 8 run 2, then 1 day rest and then run 3
then i almost laughed out loud as i remembered the only run i ever had to repeat , it was week 2 run 2 and my old trainers fell apart half way around and the soles came off hahaha, i had to tie them on with my laces so i could try and walk home😂
while im remembering all this my run of course was just disappearing in in front of me and before i knew it i had 10 mins left and the hill to contend with .
the hill was fine, my head was in the right place and i was actually enjoying this run even though i still have some discomfort !
hill conquered and the last few minutes to go ! feeling good
of course this run is a couple of mins longer than week 8 which meant i would probably finish after another shorter hill.
i could see the finish line in my head , and i was not going to speed up to it !
Laura comes back in to tell me thats it ! 30 mins of running is over for today !
Bring on 9, 2 ! im back ! 😬

Well done finish line in sight you'll have to think of more things to think about lol! FYI I woke up at 5 then went back to sleep and then woke up at 6 and went back to sleep....
Maybe I'll run tomorrow instead lol. So really well done on not going back to bed.
Well done for get out there onwards to final 2 runs - my plan was the same but I turned over and slept on 😴- I’ll definitely go tomorrow morning early 🏃🏼♀️👍
So pleased! This is great progress! I also ran early this morning and it was HOT! The joy of your run really shone through your post. Jethro Tull - hmmm - I might add some songs by them to my playlist, although I knew I was making progress today because I turned my music off for a while. I know I'm on a roll when I run without music!
I love how you sneaked off for an early morning run instead of climbing back in bed with your cuppa..... but when the running calls you just gotta go! 🤣
Staying close by to read your posts on your last 2 runs - can’t wait to read it!
After your injury the celebration will be all the sweeter!
