Not feeling it today ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Set off at a slightly faster pace today, dont know why?! Now Iโ€™m not sure whether that had something to do with it or I was just having a bad day but 10 mins inI was seriously contemplating packing it in. That hill nearly killed me, excruciating ๐Ÿ˜–!! But soon Jo said great youโ€™ve done 20 minutes and I thought Iโ€™m going to stop I just canโ€™t do it and then a niggling annoying voice kept saying are you really going to stop on W9R2??? Youโ€™re so close donโ€™t do it.

Dont ask me how I did it but I did. Now Iโ€™m knackered and thinking about whether I should take 2 days rest? Your thoughts would be welcome. ๐Ÿ˜€

Donโ€™t do hills. Even a very short, gentle incline kills me. I think theyโ€™re for later down the road. And have an extra day off if you still need to recover. Youโ€™re almost there. Enjoy it, S

Nothing wrong in taking two days rest at all! If you need them take them. Due to work commitments I was only managing to run two to 3 times a week when I was doing C25K. And still am.

Well done on completing week 9 run 2 ๐Ÿ‘

You could of course have 2 days off then be ready for your graduation run and maybe avoiding the hill ? ๐Ÿ˜

Take the extra day if you need to. You want to enjoy your final run not just get through it and don't forget you can slow down and then speed up post C25K.

I did W9r3 this morning it was slow, but I knew from the start I was going to finish it. You've got this ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Well done for persevering! ๐ŸŒŸ

I bet youโ€™re keen as mustard to just get that last run DONE but an extra rest day might just help you smash it.

Iโ€™ve taken extra days here and there and always feel more energised for doing so. I think partly because Iโ€™ve missed running so I just naturally run with a bit more pep! ๐Ÿ˜

Good luck with it! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
