Another delayed post, no I'm not getting lazy, I'm just overly busy at the minute.

I woke yesterday morning and I just had to jump on the treadmill, it was fine since I'd not run since Saturday so I'd had a day of rest.

So I headed downstairs, asked Alexa to turn the treadmill on, I got my running gear on, sorted the music, sorted the app and set off.

What a great session, the 25 minutes seemed to fly by, when Laura said I had 60 seconds remaining and that, if I felt I had the energy I could increase speed and finish on a high, I thanked her and did just that, increasing my speed by 25% and pushing my way to the line.

I was going to go to the gym but I felt I had to jump on the treadmill and just go for it so I wasn't going to argue with what my body told me I wanted to do.

So seven runs left on the program, looking forwards to knocking that down to 6.

Happy running everyone.

Great update! Life is tricky sometimes-with the best of intentions it’s hard to fit in everything. You’re nailing those runs. Just enjoy that feeling!

I am, the more relaxed way I'm approaching the program seems better and to suit me more now.

More importantly, how are you?

Up and down thanks, a colleague is coming for breakfast so she can sit and look sadly at me, I'd rather be out for a run 😞 but I'm sure they'll stop soon

I know you know this but they mean well.

The most important thing is to take care of you, if you feel like going out for a run then go out for a run.
