The last week was meant to be the start of my journey to 10k with JuJu’s plan. I had the week off work and thought it was good time to start. I started the week off well with the longest run of week 1 5.5k. That’s where the week stopped really, life got in the way, with builders in the house and the awful weather all week I didn’t get back out to complete the 2.5k. I planned to do the 5k at park run on Saturday but my other half hurt his shoulder and I lost the confidence to go on my own.
Today i thought I’d get back on track. After a long morning of procrastination (even watching the vitality half marathon looking for inspiration) I finally left the house at midday. However it was so windy and i picked the wrong route and I couldn’t run up hill against the wind, so I gave up and walked back home. I felt so disappointed and mad at myself as I got home and seen a lady run pass my window with ease. I think my other half thought I was just looking for an excuse. Anyway I moped all day, and thought I’d start again tomorrow but I kept looking at the weather out the window. My other half’s gone to the pub for the football and I thought right the weather looks calmer now so I re put my trainers on and off I went.
I completed a very nice, slow 5k (no awards were won for today’s run) but I got back out there, the run was pleasant and the wind and hail held off just until my walk home. Mentally I feel much better and I’m finally over the mood I’ve been all day!
