Excuses, excuses, excuses.....

So I finished work late and got home even later, so my partner was already home, I was stressed and tired, it was dark out and cold and I just wasn't feeling it this evening. If there was ever an excuse I was finding it!

It really would've been so easy for me to have not run tonight, but I kicked myself up the bum, got changed and went out the door, thinking I'd just do a short loop around the block.

I trudged up the road on my warm up walk the 5 mins was up and off I went.........

I have to say I'm so glad I persuaded myself to go out, I really enjoyed the run and at the end of the loop around the block i kept going, i managed 4.5k without even thinking about it.

Now feeling fab! 😁

Excellent. Another victory for mind over matter! I've taken the view that 'I'm just going to do it' on the days I have runs planned, no excuses bar bubonic plague maybe, and I've found that once I get out running I love it.

A perfect example why you should "force" yourself to get out there. Now you feel great instead of beating yourself up for not getting out there. Well done

That’s the way Sandi! 👏👏 You weren’t feeling it, you went out anyway, smashed it and came back feeling awesome. That’s what runners to! Yay! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️😀😀

Well done Sandi - they're the hardest runs to start but the most rewarding ones to do.
