Week 7 run 1

A bit of a reality check today, maybe I was a touch overconfident or maybe the weekend of boozing and eating crap really caught up to me! Today was a struggle from start to finish.... But I did finish 😁 I felt slow, overweight, out of breath and pain but still finished!

Il attach the data photo as I don't run as slow as I felt I ran in my head it was so much worse 🤣

Conditions were decent, a few good mornings to dogwalkers as I went, one friendly dog decided it wanted to leap up at me 🤣 big fella too I nearly ended up in the bushes 🤣

Clean eating now the rest of this week and also no more booze for the rest of October!

Good luck all the runners today!

Hey :-) well done for getting out there and completing your run! Me too, though I found this morning's run "ok", my knee was a bit niggly which made me run a bit more cautiously but 10mins in, I was on it and was happy to be out moving. I saw the physio on Sat and I think the after effects are still making themselves known :-( Anyway, another 25mins in the bag.. Still so chuffed I'm running 25 MINUTES NON-STOP..wow.

I feel your pain with the whole "day after the big weekend" thing, I've noticed that, any drinks the day or night before really can impact a run the next day!! ugh.. Not a bad pace you had there so you did good. Onto run 2!
