As I said a few posts back I've started the NHS Couch to 5k plan again, today was week 2 run 3, and while I've been surprised at how far I can actually keep running for overall, I found it a bit hard today.
Week 2 is 6 bursts of 90 seconds running interspersed with 2 minutes of walking. By the last run today, my legs were like jelly and I had to stop - I only chopped 10 seconds off the final run but it's not a good feeling, especially when I should be moving onto week 3 on Friday...
I thnk it might have to do with all the Bonfire toffee I consumed last night or maybe the fact that I had to stay up until very late to make sure the bonfire was actually out. I know when I've slept poorly in the past I've not had the energy to keep up a run the next day.
I think I'll go back to my earlier posts and remind myself how far I've actually come rather than sit here feeling sorry for myself though.

You're still doing so well, keep it up.
