Hi Runners!
I woke up this morning in contemplation. Contemplating over various things in the past and in the future, what a complete waste of time and energy. π Maybe Iβm the only one to do that in the mornings and it narks me so much. π₯΄!
I had a running time planned with my VRB UnfitNoMore and beg forgiveness ππ½. He certainly doesnβt need me to run, but itβs his way of encouraging a flagging runner. Thank you! π€
So....I decide flicking through my phone isnβt going to distract me from the invite to the secret gremlin party that was out in the air either. π π§! I have a feeling that if I donβt go now, I wonβt.
So itβs time to launch a rocket π ! Get up, get your kit on and get out! Kit on and a momentary pause as I realise you can see my bright pink sports bralet πunder my white long sleeve over top! Do a 180 in the mirror and decide, so what! Itβs fine! π€·π½ββοΈ And for almost 50, youβre doing alright girl! π
Out I go and itβs not the time for a sedentary meditative music run. Get the tempo music on! π§ π΅ πΆ ππ½ππ½ππ½! I run with the traffic on purpose, no quiet park for me today. Iβm absorbed in all of the movement around me. Paying attention to life just flowing and going with the flow. Everyone just going about their business and me doing my part of going about my business, right there with them. π€©π€©π!
Then my VRB fellow graduation day buddy Chelsea007 ππ½ββοΈππΌββοΈβοΈ chimes in with a cheer through the app too! You absolute star!! π My run is strong and upright! Iβm doing it! ππ½ππ½ππ½
I finish my run and have a few minutes to walk back. I even enjoy that today π. Back to what Iβve learned, I keep up a good walking pace. That will strengthen me to go longer later, I tell myself. π€
Iβm home in time to give my son a lift to school. A few minutes sat dripping (what a feeling, you know thatβs a good run!!π)! Proud I did it! Now, thatβs the first time Iβve felt that running high in a long while! So grateful for that experience. Nothing particularly amazing about the distance or pace, but from where I have been pushing through it is so amazing! I am learning a lot about whatβs important to me too!
Happy running Runners and thanks for the eternal boosts! β€οΈ
