Hi Runners
2 days I havenβt done my minimum 5 minute run comeback and I battled with the feeling of failing again thinking about it last night. It wasnβt mojo, more time management. π€₯ Ok...and mojo π€«! But...I told myself this morning...truth is, you only fail if you stop! πͺπ½!
So, Iβm up this morning thinking about the lack of running and I decided (for at least an hour π€¨) that Iβm going out today! My last mental check in was to tell myself, βcelebrate today. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow isnβt here yet!β...βGo for itβ! And..out I went, choosing a questionably named βSuckcess Runβ on my Nike App for 35 minutes of guided motivation. I was already thinking thatβs too much time for the way I was feeling, but I thought Iβd go with it. π€
Well, I not only did that 35 minutes from a very slow start, but I had done 5k before it hit 35 minutes. I was amazed! Thatβs close to my PB Iβm sure. Certainly didnβt realise I was moving so fast. I thought I was running so slow, like I was wearing weights (and not the kind you would buy voluntarilyπ)! And...especially as I didnβt find ALL of the guiding motivational π!
And...the best bit was at the end! When I saw my Road on the home stretch, I was able to pick up the speed π¨. That felt like seeing the finish line at PR. I felt better in that last 2 minutes than I did the whole run! I was so close to 6k, I had to carry on and put that run in the big win bag! Still canβt believe I did it! Most of it did suck a bit π to be honest, but I wasnβt going to let my mind rule my body! Nice try gremlins! I did it! ππ½π₯π₯ Please come back again mojo, Iβve really missed ya! ππ½
Happy Running Runners! β€οΈ
