Week8 run2 been and gone. :-D

[caz1_ca]

I'm getting excited now, I can definitely see the finish line It was a tough run today and I kept getting twinges in my back but they went away eventually. I've had a bit of a sore back for a few days. Anyway I managed to put a little bit of a spurt on for the last minute and in hindsight I probably shouldn't have, because when I slowed down my back seized up. I was so glad I was nearly home. I thoroughly enjoyed my run today even though it was hard and now I can hardly move. So no more running now until Saturday and I hope my back is better by then.

I can't believe I am almost at the end of this programme. Who knew it could actually work.

Oh I think I need painkillers, I want to cough but I'm scared too. LOL

Happy jogging folks enjoy the weather next week it suppose to get nice. Then we can moan we are too hot. Hahaha

Your enthusiasm and excitement jumps from the page!

Pity about the back... all I can say is rest, rest, rest and perhaps a few gentle stretches. Keep warm.

Thanks Con-brio. I have had a nice hot shower and let the water hit right where it hurts, and taken a couple of Ibuprofen so will rest up and hopefully OK for the last run of week 8.

Wow,it's amazing that you have done it on the treadmill alone....hats off to you girl I agree with the advice that caz1 gave you. Find an intersting route and take it really steady. You might feel that you will slow down a bit, but you will soon get it back up once you're used to the great outdoors..lol Good luck with the res tof the programme...we will also graduate together

Thanks Yes I run outdoors, I don't think I would have made it this far on a treadmill, so hats off to you. However on some of the days that have been really awful weather wise I wish I'd had one (haha). Anyway from what I hear it is quite a different run going from the treadmill to out doors, so the best bit of advise I could give you is find yourself a good route and just take it slowly until you are used to outdoor running.

Graduation I can still hardly believe its within my reach.

Best of luck with your next run.

Congratulations on finishing your run I also had a bit of back ache after my run yesterday, but after a hot shower today it's been fine. I am doing W8R2 tomorrow. I find it difficult to believe that I am almost at the end of the programme.....And how far I have come as a person It's a very special programme and this page is so inspirational. Good luck with the rest of your week

Thanks. I know what you mean about getting to the end of the programme, I'm kind of sad and excited at the same time.

Good luck on your run.
