Gremlins out in force today...

Absolutely riddled with self doubt today. Got up feeling pretty ok, had breakfast, BOOM! Sluggish. Ok, maybe cheese toasties were a bad idea, but plenty of hydration had, but there's a pretty loud voice saying that I can't do it. That I won't even make 5k, let alone the 8.5 I want today.

Need to find a way to silence my inner disenters, or at least shout them down until I'm past the toxic ten. 😭

..."Feel the fear and do it anyway"! I am often nervous before a long run - stupid gremlins! They never win though....😀 Hope your run goes ok.🙂

You wouldn’t want a snail-like chipmunk to get to 8.5k before you now, would you? 😈 🏃‍♀️

I hit the wall. REALLY hard. And it was hailing. And cold. I walked home. But I managed 8k. Faster than you. 😉

Well done Jundal ...... hitting a wall, but still completing 8k is awesome. I shall trot out on Thursday and see how far I go. Might be 8k, might be 8.5k, might be 9k. Who knows? 😅

And yes, I will be slower than you, that I’ll give you! 😅🏃🏃‍♀️🐌
