So having wittered on far too long the other day about my ππ©² Iβll try and keep this to the point!!
This morning I completed my first run of W7. It felt different somehow (not just because of my blister π₯΄) as for the first time I really felt in control, able to adjust my pace as required, looking around and dare I say it, maybe starting to enjoy it a bit π€
The whole thing about the blister on my instep makes me realize what a total novice I am at all this as it turns out that my lovely new running socks, have a L and R which my husband pointed out after I was complaining to him that my new, very expensive socks, had caused me damage π I hadnβt noticed the tiny gold L and R in the pattern so numpty here accidentally wore them on the wrong feet on my run on Sunday hence the blister... totally self inflicted π Anyway, despite the discomfort which didnβt really worsen until the end, when Jo told me to, and KC and the Sunshine Band said βPut on my Boogie Shoesβ I sure did and managed to run faster for the last minute. It did mean a limp warm down walk though instead of the usual brisk one.
However today, for the first time I really felt proud of myself, it felt my best run yet and filled me with confidence. Iβve been incredibly lucky (so far π€) and once the early niggles, aches and pains went Iβve had no additional issues, so if the worse thing I suffer with is a self inflicted blister by the end of W9 I shall feel incredibly thankful π
There have been some more fantastic, heartwarming posts and achievements posted over the last couple of days that continue to inspire and motivate me, so thank you π
Onto W7R2 and just in case anyone was wondering (you know who you are π ) I did indeed stick with the ππ©²
