Hi Runners!

Well, the lighter mornings are rolling on in and I’m going with it! It was a bit chilly this morning, but lovely turning a corner and running towards the rising sun ☀️!

I am taking a bit of an unconventional approach to getting myself out there again, by doing a little run every day. Don’t panic 😳, I’m not advocating any dangerous activity! I’m just doing 30 mins run/walk or a short run of around 10 - 15 mins.

Darkness 🌑...rain 🌧 ...wind 💨... time ⏰ and I’ve been easily convinced tomorrow will be a better day 🥱! Striking yet another new deal with myself! 🤝 By the time I’ve finished weighing up the pros and cons, it could have already been done! 😂 (AKA...excuses ☺️)! I’ve tried the day on and day off a few times during winter, but I have struggled to get back on!

So, I’m keeping my ‘back on track programme’ very simple for now. Go out every day, even if it’s just for 5 minutes, but without any pushing. There has been no record breaking or soar body parts! 😂. I can spare 5 mins away from tasks and thoughts to do something for ME every day 😉.

Happy running Runners! ❤️

Thank you Cheeky! 🤗 I don’t want to plan too much. The planning takes too much thought and not enough run! 🤗❤️

And planning isn’t as much fun as running anyway. Way better to get out there and plan as you go! 😀😀😀

Sounds good - are you sure those body parts aren't soaring?!😋

Fabulous450Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP

😂 No JP! Definitely not soaring (or sore)! I’ve just seen my typo! 🤣! Maybe it’s a Freudian slip! I do hope to be soaring, but I’m not there yet! ❤️

Thanks Rainbow66! 🤗 It’s working so far, so good! 😉 Still a little resistance in the mix, but that will pass! ❤️

You will get back on track as will I. As long as we keep getting out there. It’s the regularity that will work I think even more than the distance.
