Week 7 Run 3 🥵

[Jools2020]

Another really warm one. I was going to have an extra rest day this morning, partly because I thought it was going to be raining. So when I woke up and realised that it wasn’t, I thought I may as well run. I wanted to get Week 7 completed.

lt may not have been raining but it was really humid and the air quality was only ‘fair’. The storms yesterday did not clear the air. I know that this affects my running so I knew I’d have to make this a slow run.

I had charged up my devices, just in case! 🤣

I wanted to listen to ‘Echoes’ but Amazon has changed how you listen to music so Instructor57 I did try!

There were loads of other runners out this morning and it’s lovely to greet each other when we all have a shared love of running 😊!

The run followed my normal pattern of a slow start and slightly faster as I warm up. I wasn’t able to speed up for the whole of the last minute as suggested by my coach, but I did manage for the last 15 seconds! I was a sweaty mess at the end

I struggled a little on the incline during the second kilometre but kept going, even though I slowed down.

All in all I was pleased with the run in difficult conditions for me and looking at the stats I’m pleased to have completed Week 7 with 3 pretty consistent runs.

I did not succumb to temptation to sit on the seat in the photo as I was on my cool down walk! 😊👍🏃‍♀️

Well done on getting it done before it gets even warmer.. only two weeks left now! That does look as though it could be an inviting place to rest awhile..😊

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to PeggySusi]

Thank you 😊

Only 2 more weeks - you’re right! Can’t wait to consolidate and start planning longer runs again 😊

[Runninggirl59 Graduate]

Well done Jools particularly changing your mind on a planned rest day, that shows commitment! Almost there 😀

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Runninggirl59]

Thanks. it was a ‘kind of’ planned rest day - subject to change if I felt like it 😊

[Birdlady64 Graduate]

Thats a good run for you Jools2020 Conditions aren't great at the moment are they? Well done, the end is getting closer now. Nice to see you getting your mojo back!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Thanks, Diane. No, they’re not - think I’d rather run in the rain!

[ToothPickJafah Graduate]

Well done for not succumbing to temptation! That bench looked very inviting haha 😆

Hope you have a lovely day!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to ToothPickJafah]

Thank you, you too 😊

[Gthants]

A tempting bench indeed! So well done for carrying on through!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Gthants]

Thank you! I’m going out for a walk later and will sit there for a while then 😊

You must have been up early to avoid the heat! My visiting family didn't leave until 9.30 this morning, by which time it was too hot to go for a run!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Yes, exactly. It was already 16 degrees at 6;00 and rising fast. It’s certainly too hot to run now and I wouldn’t do it.

[Cuppateatime Graduate]

Well done. I did w7r3 on Saturday as a parkrun. Looking forward to working on completing the program.

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Cuppateatime]

Thanks. Well done for your parkrun! Im hoping to do one soon 😊

[CBDB Graduate]

Week 7 in the bag!!! Only 2 weeks to go!

I enjoyed my revisits to C25k immensely, again a really different running experience! Enjoy!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to CBDB]

I know! I’m really enjoying doing it again. Such fun! And it’s whizzed by, although I did start at Week 3 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Well done going out when it's so warm

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

I saw it was going to be warm every day for a while! Only solution for me is to run really early, but I don’t mind that 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

I didn't sleep much then dozed off about 6am so it wasn't going to happen today, I seem to have a few good nights then 1 or 2 when sleep doesn't happen. I've been going through old photos and found some of Willow's early songs so it's been a bit of a day but easier at the end

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

I think you’re doing all the right things, Sola. It’s part of grieving. ❤️

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

I know but it's hard, trying to sort out his computer all the music all the photos, but I'm not sure whether I'm keeping it, it's part of the music studio, and I want to make sure I have copies of everything

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Do you need to do it all soon? If not, give yourself some more processing time Xx

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

No, just want to make sure I don't lose anything that I'd like to keep, I'll do a few at a time, there's no hurry but I'm in danger of sinking into lazy old age so have to keep moving xx

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

I think you’re a way off sinking into lazy old age - but I suppose it’s best to do it a little at a time! xx

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

😀xx

[Folkylass Graduate]

Well done on your run. Apologies I’ve just read your post now. Not long to go now till your graduation and then you can run where ever you want for how ever long you want ……brilliant!🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🥰🥰

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Folkylass]

thanks - maybe I’ll consolidate for a week or to. Then get to 5K first - for sure that’s never going to happen in a 30 minute run lol

[Folkylass Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

You may surprise yourself!🥰

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Folkylass]

I may indeed! 🥰
