Week 2
Run 1 – With Leeds Girls Can Group
‘It does Not Matter How Slowly You Go As Long As You Do Not Stop’. Confucius
Having 3 rest days before tonight’s session was a godsend. I was exhausted the day after the final run in week 1.
It was a struggle to get going today, somehow I was really exhausted today. Maybe one the days my body says to rest. But I didnt want to miss totay’s session as I wont be able to do the homework on Saturday.
I managed to take my time and complete all the sessions, despite the heaviness I felt in my body. Michael Johnson’s gentle, smooth and encouraging voice told me that today’s run is 90 seconds and to take it slow and easy. 50% more running than week 1. So, I took it slow and ended up the runt of the group. But, I didnt stop.
I felt so proud of myself that I completed the session without stopping.
Cool down and group photo then catch up on the yoga session I didnt do this morning. Wow, I feel so energised!
Run 2 – Solo Run
Today’s run went better han I expected.
I’d missed Saturday’s, couldn’t do it on Sunday and was too tired on Monday, So I did it this afternoon and surprised myself.
I had more energy than I though I’d have, given that The past few days had been so heavy with activity; but I took my time and followed the advice of Michael Johnson and just did gentle jogging around..
I was still energised when I got home and finished with a 15 minute yoga cool down. I’d like to do the third and final run for the week tomorrow, but I know I’d be cutting it a bit close as Week 3 starts on Thursday and I don’t want to be too exhausted at the beginning.
Run 3 – Solo Run To Catch Up!
I missed this today and I was too tired to go out. I stayed home and rested. The miserable weather today didn’t help either – it rained all day.
I hope that I’m not affected too much at the start of Week 3 because I only managed 2 runs this week.
