Felt under the weather yesterday and still felt drained this morning but not enough so that I'd cancel my run.

I've come to realise that when I'm umming and ahhing then I can still do it. When I feel rough I recognise it and it's a definite no!

Started out knowing I could do it so just tried to take it steady and keep on keeping on. Must admit though, I was really happy and more than ready to stop running the second the map my run lady said I'd hit 8K πŸ˜“

Another one under the belt, and I think a nice lazy afternoon, maybe a film with snacks sounds like the perfect treat this week πŸ‘πŸ˜Š

It's funny how some on some runs you're counting every minute down to cover the distance and on others you reach it feeling like you could more isn't it? Great stuff in getting out there - sometimes the runs I start out feeling a bit reluctant turn into the best - so I generally push myself to go even if I'm not really feeling it.

Hope your film and snacks lived up to expectation - and after your 8k would be guilt free too 😊.

Thanks Deb, yes I've learned you can never tell how a runs gonna go until you do it...and also that the good ones are worth the wait! Can't beat a good run πŸ‘πŸ˜Š

Well done for persevering. That’s when you get a good sense of achievement. I hope the film and snacks were good! πŸ˜€
