Still not 100%, the actual 'run' was great, it was the runny nose that got on my nerves, that didn't start until about 16-17 minutes in.Another one down, week 8 starts Monday.

After a large chest and back session in the gym yesterday I do ache a bit this morning but I'm expecting that to increase over today and die down tomorrow.

Happy running everyone!

Keep getting ideas on what's next, obviously consolidation runs, then I was thinking Week 1 Run 1, jogging the walking bits and sprinting the run parts.

A shorter faster run, possible starting off with either Week 5 Run 2 or Week 6 Run 2, working up to Week 5 Run 3 as the fast run.

That would leave one run for a lazy long run.

Then there's the 10k too, options, options, options.

Did you have a tissue with you? Getting unexpectedly surprised by a runny nose is a right pain!

Great to tick off another run. It won’t be long before you’ll be done again!

I didn't have one to hand, and I wasn't stopping to go and get one, I'm a bit Bamber Gascoigne when I'm jogging, I've started so I'll finish.

I wasn't even sniffly when I got on the treadmill but it turns out my nose can run faster than I can!

I can relate to that! Usually I realise I’ve forgotten tissues ten minutes away from home and don’t want to go back!

I carry a large cotton hankie, or two on longer runs, plus I wear a towelling wrist band. My nose runs like a tap so gotta be prepared 🤧 A Buff is another alternative, or one’s sleeve if needs be ☺️

Cotton hankies saved my bacon twice when I’ve tumbled and cut myself 🤕
