Da Doo Run Run in the Spring

Greetings runners.I've had a very slack few months. I've had some good some reasons for not getting out but many really pathetic excuses whilst being aware that motivation was slipping perilously. But.... this morning I've made a promise to myself. Get back out there, see the Spring from my running shoes and aim for a 10k race this summer (the pink one!) So if anyone is reading this and is in need of a nudge, go on do it! It feels good to have stopped the slide back to the couch...have a good day.

The less you do, the easier it becomes to do less. That’s really why I joined a club. There sheer embarrassment of not turning up for a run and feeling I need to find an excuse “please miss, I didn’t do my homework because.....!” Makes me go out when it’s a bit cold or rainy or misty. Once I’m out the front door, I’m fine. Sometimes the motivation just isn’t there and the thought of people waiting for me does the trick. Good luck, glad to see you’re back in the game now!🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️😊

Good to see you out there again Empem. You can’t get new shoes if you don’t run in the ones you’ve got 🤣👟👟

It's so easy to lose motivation in winter - I personally just want to eat and sleep. But spring is here! Time to wake up! You've timed your comeback perfectly!
