Wk6 R2- felt better than the last 😊

[JulesL69]

However, still feel like it’s a chore? Did enjoy some aspects of the run today but did feel it was more of a slog at the end.

Legs were tiring near the end but I feel that we every run they are improving.

Now on to the interrupted runs 😳😱.

Thought I would take a pic of me and my very naughty dog 🐶

[JulesL69 Graduate]

Not sure why there is two posts ? One with and one without the dog lol. I just edited it ?

[nowster Graduate in reply to JulesL69]

I don't know. Dodgylungs also produced a duplicate when he edited his post this morning.

Possibly a bug in the forum software.

[Dodgylungs Graduate in reply to nowster]

Yes I’ve just noticed that. Must be a glitch.

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Weird, maybe a glitch somewhere in the software 🤷🏻‍♀️

Beautiful dog Those two runs are apparently notoriously hard.. I struggled. Next run and you're officially a runner! I found run 3 easier xx

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to sally1993]

Thanks, she’s a working cocker spaniel and has lots more energy than me 😂. Super fast but so much fun.

Here hoping run 3 will be easier 🤞🏻

What a lovely place to run ! And he looks innocent!! Mine is tomorrow although may postpone a day as on Zumba waiting list. I agree tho feeling a chore ...I love getting to the end but I find every run so hard!!

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to mezziejay]

Thank you. Yes, fortunate that we live in a beautiful area, lots of countryside around us 😊

Innocent no ha ha. Why do we feel that way? Hopeful when we graduate it will feel better? 🤞🏻

[mezziejay Graduate in reply to JulesL69]

Hopefully 😂I have ever been an any sort of exercise fan tho 😂😂😂

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to mezziejay]

I was when I was a lot younger, then just walking the dog. Now running with the dog 😂.

Gorgeous cheeky pupper! 😍 Any cat adventures today?!

Well done Jules, pleased to hear you enjoyed this a little more 👍🏼

I had a lull myself during W3 or W4 and it all just felt a bit robotic/‘going through the motions’ type feelings. Maybe it’s a natural progression when forming a new habit.

You mentioned something similar yourself the other day though; it’s important to remember that you’re doing it at all; increasing your fitness and well-being with every run ticked off and that alone is a wonderful thing.

It helps me to think of all the people I’m lapping that are still sat on the sofa. (And you’re entitled to feel a little bit smug about that) 😉😎

I really liked Dodgylungs comment about the ‘ebb and flow’ of the emotions that come along with the programme. Just keep riding the wave - you’re doing great - I’m sure your mojo will return 🏄🏻‍♀️✨

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to acountrycabbage]

Thanks , no cat adventures today 😂

Yes, you’re right in reminding me, we are all increased our fitness levels with each and every run we do. When I got back I said to my husband, well wasn’t too bad but at least I did 35 mins more of exercise than I would have done before I started this programme ... smug look 😉.

Ebbs and flows is a great analogy 👍🏻 no more intervals 😱

[acountrycabbage Graduate in reply to JulesL69]

🙌🏼😎☀️ to being smug

😮🧐🤪 to no more intervals (last one for me tomorrow!)

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to acountrycabbage]

😂😂😂

Good luck with your run tomorrow 👍🏻

[acountrycabbage Graduate in reply to JulesL69]
