Wk8 R2 and some unwelcome 'friends.'

Well I haven't had a run for 6 days and good grief did my body tell me about it! I've been resting my leg after I strained my quad and this is the thanks I get!! By the way if you're in a good mood be warned rant approaching!!

First of all my old friend Mr. numb foot turned up, then Mr. quad said, oh no thought I was resting? and started to twinge a bit. Then some new aches appeared, Mr and Mrs. groin (slight ache) appeared. I tried to switch off and actually did enjoy the run believe it or not until in the last few minutes Mr. stitch appeared. A new pain to me who I believe just decided to round everything off nicely!!

Completed run and then they all went of course and jumped on some other runners I think, judging by some of their faces.

Bring on week 9 because I think running for 30 minutes will be easy after that lot following me round!!

:P

Ha ha - when I read your title, as I work in a primary school, 'unwelcome friends' had me thinking of beasties in the hair! Ugh! :o

Not that all your friends sound any more appealing. I'm impressed that despite all that you managed to enjoy the run - well done for that! I hope your friends don't come to visit me next week, as I've found week 7 pretty tough, and suspect that if I have gremlins like that I'll be walking!

Thank you greenlegs, I think if I hadn't gone out today, I may have left it and left it and well you know the rest! I hope they don't come and see you either! Good luck
