Getting over rubbish run

[HeavyFoot]

Thursday morning is usually reserved for trying something different. Yesterday was a new country lane near home and an extra 2 bpm on the metronome. Planned time: 30 minutes.

The Voices started as usual: “your legs are really stiff- probably from swimming yesterday “, “this road is hillier than you thought”, “there’s a lot of fast traffic on this road”. All true but I told the Voices to shut up.

Then, after 15 minutes, the Voices spoke true: “you really, really need the loo. And not just a pee. And it’s too dangerous to run”

I was really fed up for the rest of the day, but am girding my loins for parkrun.

Not every run can be a good one.

When you've got to go you've got to go . Don't beat yourself up . Enjoy your park run 😊

Some runs plain suck... the next one tends to be much smoother. Of course when you gotta go you gotta go!

Looking on the bright side, I remained continent in front of the morning traffic!!!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

That’s never a bad thing 🤣

Ah yes, the voices in our heads when we run. They can be quite loud and annoying sometimes. I’m glad you listened to the last one though! That could have been a little awkward 😱😆. I’ve been there and just found a bathroom in time 😰...:not pleasant to say the least.

Yes we've all had them, but I always tell myself at least it was a run, rather than not going 😊

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to orangeguy]

You’re absolutely right. And despite all my misgivings, parkrun just went fine.

I know the feeling - had to cut my run short this morning too!
