last run cut short

8 Replies

today was supposed to be my last run of the program but I cut it short.

I needed the loo and just wasn’t getting into it. couldn’t get a good groove and I wasn’t enjoying it and it’s supposed to be fun. I know I did the right thing just disappointed.

I think I am fatigued from yesterday as did horse riding and then went swimming. I shouldn’t have attempted the run today.

I am going to have tomorrow off and try Wednesday.

I completely empathise! I missed my wk8r3 run on Friday, due to the storm, and couldn't motivate myself to go again until Monday morning. But, when I got started I just didn't feel right - ran for 10mins then had to walk for 30secs - then ran another 8mins before stopping and just walking home - I'll redo it on Weds too. Well done - you're almost there! 😀

Well done to you too. Sounds just like my run. Here’s to Wednesday. Hope all goes well for you :)

Hope you manage to get your final run completed today, Kksstt 😀 I completed my final run of week 8 this morning, and feel much better for it - I was dreading it after Monday's failed attempt, but kept it slow and steady and got through to the end. Good luck and well done!

Well done to you :) that’s fab. I am heading out at 10am. Update later :)
