Week5!!!! Run 1

[VPOLLIE67]

So glad that’s over 🤣🤣. I struggled during the second run. It was all uphill and my legs were starting to wobble - and not in any way that would be considered nice!!!! But Jo was encouraging as ever and I tried to focus on everything else around me. I walk and run to a particular ‘Turn around tree’ every day and it was my focus to the top of the hill. It was literally all downhill after that so run three was lovely 😊. I think I’m actually looking forward to day 2??? Who would have ever thought it? 😊😊

I have had a niggle in my knee for a couple of weeks but it was really good while I ran but I felt it when I started to walk downhill on the way home. Hopefully it will sort itself out before Tuesday.

Best wishes to everyone this week. At least it’s to be reasonably dry and mild. Enjoy

Well done 👏🏻😀. Who’d have thought you would be finishing thinking that you are looking forward to r2. Hold that thought for your next run. I will be out doing mine early Tuesday morning ... we can do it 😊👍🏻

Thank you! I’m enjoying it - even when it’s awful hahahahaha. Good luck on Tuesday morning! I’m not as good at the early morning thing but definitely going on Tuesday. We can absolutely do this!!!

Well done you 👍 maybe the mind over matter thing is starting to kick in for us all now and we are all actually starting to believe we will do it !!!!!

Thank you. I love all the encouragement here and I absolutely know I couldn’t do this without all that support. It’s brilliant. And I am starting to enjoy it all. Can’t believe it’s me saying this hahahaha.

Fantastic, sounds like you nailed it, all up hill as well! Love the idea of having a tree to focus on 👍🏼

My legs have recovered today but my knee is niggling too, boo.. 😕 It’s about time I took on some extra knee exercices.

Best of luck for tomorrow!
