C25K - W7D3

Two weeks to go and I'll be a graduate of the C25k plan - yippee! Except, it may take me more than that. Week 4 was a struggle, now week 7 is the new hurdle. All 3 sessions this week are 25 minute runs, the first was a piece of cake - it was lovely day, not too hot and a nice change of scenery running around Newbiggin beach, get in! The 2nd session didn't go so well. I was still using the Zaggora hotpants, and when you couple that with the heat, I just couldn't do it. I think I managed 1 mile at a time. Ouch. Today, I did improve on the last run, which is a good thing, but I still feel frustrated. I can just about do 2 miles non-stop, but I'm still falling short of the full 5k and I don't feel like I'm getting any closer. I have been feeling a little demotivated as well for some reason, hopefully it's just a blip and once I can break through the 2 mile barrier I'm sure I'll be feeling up to it again.

My plan of action is to repeat week 7 so I can do a full 25 minutes without stopping, even if it takes me all summer!
