Last week I was so happy when I managed two 6am runs to complete week 7, I fit them in around my busy schedule for the week, working full time and performing every night in a show. By Friday I was due to start week 8 and as I finish work early that day I thought I could fit a run in before heading to the theatre that night. I had felt awful during the day with the starts of a cold but knew I would regret it if I didn't try. Week 8 Run 1 and it started well, the fresh air was helping and I found a nice pace, Laura told me I had run for 14 min and then the wall, of sorts, I was getting dizzy and with 3 more shows to do in two days I thought better to stop and walk than collapse, a 10min walk home.
Saturday I had two shows and an appointment so no run, Sunday I had plans in the morning and sheer exhaustion hit me in the afternoon, no run. Monday I was working in a different office so got a nice 25 min walk to and from work but was still suffering from a head cold (it got much worse on Sunday) so no run. I need to run today and am just hoping I'll have the energy to get through it. Still not feeling 100% and have barely any voice, so I'm hoping my willpower will get me through, if it hasn't disappeared by 6.30pm!

My aim was to complete C25K by next Monday morning as I am going away to USA for 3 months and although I do plan to run while I'm out there I will be having a one/two week break before I do (travelling and area means I cant get back into a routine straight away). So if I don't run today then Sunday then I'll only get through week 8 and not into week 9. Didn't realise not being able to run would become a problem for me at the start of this programme!
