Week Six, Run Three

[mummybowles]

I did it. Ran non-stop for 25 minutes. Didn't want to get out of bed this morning - felt terribly sluggish after a large steak and chips and red wine last night - but I did and I'm so glad !! And apparently now, I'm a runner ☺️ For Week Seven it's just (just!) three repeats of this same run. Bring it on 🏃🏃🏃

Great willpower mummybowles week 9 is within touching distance 👍

[mummybowles Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks - yay so close I can almost taste it !

[Hidden in reply to mummybowles]

Perhaps just go a little easier on the steak and vino before a run day 👍

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 6, as Laura told you at the end of your run "you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER" well done, onwards and upwards to week 7 which as you say are all 3/25 minute runs.

That was me too this morning! W6r3 under the belt. W7 is 3 more of the same. Excited and a bit scared too. I’ve felt sluggish all weekend too, big Chinese meal on Friday and generally pigging out. I’ll be good next week 🙈

[mummybowles Graduate in reply to Alvor]

I had a Chinese on Friday night too ! I definitely have to sort my diet out but I'll worry about that another day. Maybe it can be my next project post-C25k graduation - bet it's easier to run without this excess weight.

On Saturday morning the duvet wouldn't let me leave it behind. I didn't get out until 11am.

Fish and chips on Friday evening, bacon sarnies for lunch after the run on Saturday and a cheap "Bavette" steak with boiled spuds, mushrooms and veg last night.

This sounds like my kinda weekend grub (apart from the veg bit). Which is why I need to drop two stone 😁

[nowster Graduate in reply to mummybowles]

For me the veg was just carrots. I did extra mixed veg for herself. I'm a bit of a picky eater. I suspect I'm a supertaster and the bitterness of some veg is too much. The mildest spice gets to me too.

Yay, well done! Keep up the good work 😊xx

[mummybowles Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Thank you, will do (again) x

[Peter44 Graduate]

Well done 👏, week 7 here we come!

Was going to ask you, how it feels running in gym, rather than outside?

[mummybowles Graduate in reply to Peter44]

I ran outside last year but I'm now paying gym subscription so thought I'd use it. This morning I watched Match of the Day on the dreadmill and it took my mind off the run (a bit). I think I'm supposed to put a slight incline on it but I don't. I think it might be slightly easier than the road but kinder to the knees.

Well done- it’s great to get that one completed !

[Jericho2332 Graduate]

Well done! Takes effort to go out on these conditions! Always feel better when you do though 👌🏻👌🏻 bring on the next week! 💪🏻
