Now....do you ever have one of those days when your head is so crammed full of to doβs, not to doβs and everything else swimming around the universe? π€― Well, that was me this morning.
There was no urgent plans or prioritisation needed, but trying to get my head to focus on doing was not going to be too successful. I think itβs called tiredness. In the past, I probably would have wanted to just go back to bed π! Not that I would, but the whole day would just feel pretty shabby! π But Iβm armed with my new pick me up....running! ππΎββοΈ Nothing like a run to clear the fog π« and start again.
So, out I went to the big park this morning. Glad to be outdoors again. It was beautiful green and quiet. Looking around as I slowly ran, I felt a sense of peace and tranquility. No demands, no form, no pace or time, just running π. My aim was just to run for 30 minutes in good old C25K fashion! Whatever the stats at that point...... weβre done.ππ½ And when my 30 minutes was up, well guess what, I thought π βFabulous you may as well do 5k, because you canβ. So....I did!! ππΎββοΈππΎββοΈππΎββοΈπππ!!
Although thereβs still lots to do. Nothing is urgent. No one will die and sometimes you have to acknowledge to yourself when youβre spreading yourself too thin! π€
Coincidence. I ran the same distance at around the same pace as you this morning - just a relaxing jog, and very nice too. Even popped into our local Chinese restaurant half way round to book a table for the weekend. Nice not to be chasing PBs sometimes.
Brilliant post π. Your updates are always a great read.
Itβs amazing how going for a run clears the head.
Iβve found it so useful to get out on an evening run and forget about the stresses of the day. Iβm weirdly enjoying running in the cold and dark π€
Thanks Shakey! π I don't mind the cold either. It was pretty chilly at first. The dark? Well....still going to have to get used to that one. πβ€οΈ
Thatβs what running has turned into for us hasnβt it? Pure pleasure! β€οΈ So glad your run sorted your day for you. My amazing run from yesterday is still reaping happy benefits today - and tomorrow is parkrun. Life is good!
Have a lovely relaxing evening and enjoy your weekend Fab! ππππππ
Iβm so pleased you turned you day around Fabulous! πββοΈπ€π I have missed a run mental reset this week as Iβm repairing. Canβt wait to have a slow trot round the park tomorrow morning and then get a few Headspace runs in for a change ππ
Brilliant. I did the same today. .. Just went to practice the park run hills and had a lovely slow run in the sunshine!! Loved it. No pressure. πππ
Well done, Fabulous450! Great that you managed to turn your day around so well. Running is a great escape from everything isnβt it! ππββοΈβ€οΈ
Sure is mountaindreamer! Getting away from it all for a little while makes you realise how unimportant some things we think are so important, really is. πβ€οΈ
