Possibly the worst run ever !! But surprisingly ok about it!

Suffering fatigue from a TBI means I really have to pace myself, rest often and not do too much. On Friday I have a conference in London which ended up being a 14 hour work day. I knew I'd be tired so I didn't me to run yesterday.

Got up this morning and really wanted to do 10k my sensible hubby talked me out if it and I'm bloody glad he did.

I barely managed my 5K , had to have a period of walking and averaged a 12m50s mile. I've never been that slow and my legs have never felt so heavy. It hurt. But I'm not too gutted. At least I didn't let the fatigue totally beat me. I declare it a draw !!!

I've only got 9 miles to go for my 50 mile challenge so gotta do a few more 5ks this week and I've done it.

The highs and lows of running combined with the highs and lows of a brain injury makes for an interesting life 😁🙄

Good for you for getting out there and getting a run in. I don’t have a TBI and know how hard running can be after a very long day or little sleep the night before. I find if I can get out for something, regardless how short, I feel better for it. Sounds like hubby has been a good voice of reason for you. Mine made a similar suggestion for me after a long night on call with very little sleep last week. I guess sometimes we can admit when they’re right 🤫 (but not too often, don’t want it going to their heads 😆)

You'll make the 50, you did well to keep going.
