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. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

..."Feel the fear and do it anyway"! I am often nervous before a long run - stupid gremlins! They never win though....๐Ÿ˜€ Hope your run goes ok.๐Ÿ™‚

You wouldnโ€™t want a snail-like chipmunk to get to 8.5k before you now, would you? ๐Ÿ˜ˆ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

I hit the wall. REALLY hard. And it was hailing. And cold. I walked home. But I managed 8k. Faster than you. ๐Ÿ˜‰

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? ๐Ÿ˜…

And yes, I will be slower than you, that Iโ€™ll give you! ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒ
