W7 ✅ R3 yuk

I hadn’t intended running today but having had 2 days off and keen to get W7 done the opportunity presented itself this morning. Hubbie asked if I would like to go to the driving range 🏌️‍♀️ with him this morning. Incredibly I could hear myself say that I wouldn’t but off he should go. It was still quite early here and due to get hotter but I could see a nice gentle breeze blowing so thought I’d grab my chance.

I went off much faster than usual..... why? absolutely no idea 🤷‍♀️ so having slowed right down to my ‘usual’ slow pace I plodded on round and oh boy did it feel like a plod today. I think this could possibly be my most hated run yet.

When I’d finished I felt massively relieved I’d kept going and pleased with myself but it really was an effort today 🥴

I hadn’t dared looked at the thermometer before I left otherwise I knew 👺 would be out in full force and it turned out it was 86% humidity. I had drunk a lot of water yesterday but maybe not enough, hadn’t slept well, not expecting to run, too much wine at lunchtime 😬( not usual, lunch out a rare thing currently 😅) anyway, who knows, but just putting it down to a ‘meh’ run and happy to move onto W8.

What I find the most confounding is that I passed up the driving range for W7R3....what’s happening to me 😂

Happy running everyone 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

The heat just saps your energy doesn’t it? 😐 But well done you for cracking on!

Just two weeks left! 😝

Remind me, did you say hubby was unaware of your C25K journey? I can’t wait to read your ‘reveal’ post! 🤩

Think it’s going to be less humid on Tuesday 🤞and cooler too.

Yup, you’ve remembered correctly 😆 can’t believe he doesn’t suspect tho’ as I’ve suddenly become an advisor about his running 🤣

Can’t believe I missed this post and went searching to see how you were doing. It may have been a meh run but you made it!

I didn’t do a run yesterday as I’d pulled a muscle in my back and I didn’t want to do more damage but by today it was better and so I went for it.

Still bemused that I’ve got this far and that I’m prepared to run in such horrid weather but pleased that’s out of the way so I can move on to W8.

Assuming you’ll do your first run either tomorrow or the day after? Whenever, I hope it goes well 😊

I’m really late with catching up and posting again 🙄 I did R1 yesterday which was ok except that I ended up with a sore, puffy left ankle 🥴 so am going to give it extra rest. Will be posting shortly 😊
