Week 5 run 3 later today, scared!!!

[Jeaniedoll]

Hi guys!
Just did run 1 week 6, found it really tough. Kinda demotivated which is weird after my 20 min run high!! I did a different route around a park near work, maybe that was it. When is your 20 min run Emma? Is Molly going to go with you? Good luck with it!

Sorry you didnt enjoy your last run Jeaniedoll. I have had plenty of runs like that, but always find that the next run is a lot better. I know you can do this! You are inspiring me to keep going too!
Well, today was my 2x8 min runs, & it went ok. Have to really slow my pace on inclines, but didn't stop once!! (Molly dog is getting it now I think!!!) my last 8 min run was a little longer, as I had a call with about 2 mins left to go, & it paused the app! So, once I realised, I just carried it on till the end, so did more than the 8 mins! It wasn't easy today, but am determined to hear Clare tell me I'm really a runner on my next run!! Usually I run tomorrow, as my daughter is at dance class, but I've just had to pick her up from school with a poorly tummy (hence the call that elongated my last run!!), so it may have to be Sunday.
Wish me & Molly dog luck!!

Good luck for Sunday Emma! Hope Molly dog is OK with the run (...and your daughter is OK too!). Mike

Thanks Mike! Think it may be today now, as my daughter is feeling better & going to dance class! I get to run in a park instead of around the roads by me, which doesn't have as many steep inclines, so hope it will help me make my 20 mins. May take some water for me & Molly dog for the end though!!
20 minute run, here we come!

Oh my goodness! Good luck Emmaa05, you will fly through it for sure! Just believe you can do it. Can't wait to hear how it goes, I've week 6 run two tonight. So not in the mood for it. I was at a wedding yesterday and had to drive 1hr 30 min back to work this morning so I am shattered! I really wanna do it though even though I know it will be hell after drinking yesterday and the lack of sleep! Good luck again babe xxx

Haha!! I did it Jeaniedoll! I did my 20 min run tonight!! It was hard, & some of it i was running so slowly it could have been a fast walk, but i did it!
Woohoo!!
Before you know it, we'll be running a marathon!

Me to! Just done run 3 - it's amazing how she knows you are ready, isn't it

[Jeaniedoll]

Hey Emma, sorry I didn't reply, Go you, I knew you could do it. I had a lot going on so missed a couple weeks, repeated week 6 run 1, went really well. Can't wait for my race in Dec. Where r u at with the running now?
