420runner Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 W7D1 this week was the hardest run I've ever had on the C25K program. I finished, but only due to sheer stubbornness. My wife, who is usually beside me or behind me, ran way off into the distance. Mentally I started questioning why I was doing this. I just wanted to quit the whole program. Then day 2 came along. I didn't want to run. I was scared. I didn't want to have another experience like my last run. Still, I laced up my shoes and reluctantly headed out the door. I had great run! I got into a nice rhythm, and finished strong. Today's run was even better. My pace was nearly 2 mins. per mile faster on W7D3 than on W7D1. I guess the moral to the story is that we all have bad days, but never let those bad days hold you back from the good days.

auntyp Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I like that. :-D I did wk 7 day 1 today and for the first time ever in my life, I thought I was going to throw up when I finished. Was thinking I didn't want to do day 2 and 3 if that nausea feeling was going to happen again. But as you say 'never let those bad days hold you back' - have fun when you start out on week 8! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TrishE Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Youre exactly right 420! We're human we will have days that are harder and slower than others. I remember those days when I first started would just ruin my whole week. I learned not to be too hard on myself and so have you! Congrats on making through week 7 like a boss!

thisismy100daychallenge Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 I’m so glad it’s not just me! wk7day1 run today was HARD. Sheer willpower was the difference between finishing and quitting. Hoping my next run is better for me like your experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
