Week 8 completed!

Yesterday I finished week 8 run 3. It is so interesting to see how different the same run can be, just a day apart -- at the end of run 2, I wondered how I'd be able to run two more minutes when week 9 comes around. At the end of run 3, I felt like I could keep going!

I am loving this process of learning about running, learning what I'm capable of (and not), and the discovery that I am really starting to love running. I wasn't sure if there would be a ParkRun here in the US near me, but there is one just a few towns over! I'm interested to experience one; when I was younger and running, I never felt capable of running an event. Maybe after consolidation I will try a ParkRun! Looking forward to a new year with more growth in my running!

Thanks to everyone who posts here. I don't post often, but I do lurk and read all of your posts!πŸ˜‚

It often amazes me that runs can feel so different for absolutely no good reason at all. Really glad you had a good one. Three to go! Keep it steady and before you know it, you’ll be requesting your graduate badge! Really well done πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
