Never let those anti run gremlins beat you! Cunning little blighters they are, they'll worm their way into your head, excuses and the like for not wanting to see you run we've probably all experienced them, the important thing is never let them win πͺ.
Take today I woke from night's later than planned, the π§οΈπ§οΈβwas throwing it down grrrr . Do I really want to run? Gremlin attempt no.1
Mrs Wife and the eldest were snuggled cosily on the sofa watching a weepy film both with tissues π. I could've easily boiled the kettle and took comfort in a warm Milky coffee and watched the rain from my dry chair. But but I want to run, I luckily dodged every drop of rain whilst completing my c25k journey, but that was way back. I've since embraced running in the rain and it's fabulous π₯³. Mrs Wife half mentioned she needed sugar for baking, the gremlins leapt at the chance, before I knew it I was in the car heading towards the shops, ( brief detour to recce Fridays fishing venue) an hour later returning home i noticed my Jaffa cakes stock had been replenished π stealth gremlin attack should I have a couple and a coffee, it's only 2 hours before I leave for work grrrrr..... It's now or never I threw on my shorts and teeshirt, trainers laced just opening the back door the heavens opened. The gremlins last hurrah. I left them in the house I set my Garmin to run and off I went.....
Never let a gremlin derail your run needs
I battled their attempts to kidnap my mojo today and I won π, I ran my quick before work 5k loop in the rain and the puddles the boat traffic is back in place on the canal but in general its still a quiet Wales....
Keep safe everyone and enjoy those runs..... And Jaffa cakes definitely taste better when you know you've earned one or two π
