[Banana12 Graduate10]

Go on. You know you’ll hate yourself tomorrow if you don’t you’ll sleep better and live yourself more Mum22boys. Do it fir you, your two boys and for us on the forum (with 2 boys you’ve got to live the be good to yourself alone time). You go girl. You’ve got this 🏃‍♀️

Love...must have v fat fingers🥴

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Banana12]

Us fellow runners know each other too well... running kit is on...

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Consider yourself kicked Mum - I got out and so can you! Your motivation will be lurking somewhere I’m sure; who knows, you might even trip over it while you’re running (though please try not to actually trip!).

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Super weary but I know I'll feel so much better afterwards... running kit is on so once I've put the small ones to bed I really haven't got an excuse... 🤔

Come on now Mum22boys, get out there, get those trainers by the door, you know you want to otherwise you wouldn’t have asked us to kick your bum ...... imagine how you’ll feel when you come back through that door 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🤗

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I knew if I posted on here and you lovely people gave me said kick I'd just have to go... method in my madness... small person story time then time to walk out the door... hopefully followed by a run...

[Tasha99 Graduate10]

Well you could stay at home and be fuming with yourself all night for not going. Or you could run and be mega pleased with yourself 🤔

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

When you put it like that it's so obvious!!! I did it, I ran, and obviously I feel sooooo much better now 😊

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Mum22boys]

Remember it! Works every time for me 👍🏽

[2bon in reply to Mum22boys]

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

I hope you are now out there having a fabulous run 🤗

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thank you grannyhugs. Yes done and back. What makes it even more silly is that it's only my short run tonight as well... 20 mins of intervals... felt good though and it goes without saying I feel so much better now 😊

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Mum22boys]

Delighted to hear it. Another run complete - onwards🤗

[Hidden]

I've just seen this but so glad you went out! Well done you. Sometimes it's just good to go out and find the motivation as you go rather than feel it beforehand. Sift through the day and reflect during the run. Distance and Distraction are great ways to take yourself out of things at home and run into your little world. This can be really helpful. Everyone needs a reason to go and keep going. Have your run days ready in advance across the week (if it's possible) so everyone knows and then it's your time. Even if the run is iffy it beats no run. Well done and keep going. As you know, we're all here x

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

The ironic thing was it was a great run, as soon as I started I felt great... only an hour before I could have slept 😫

And yes, you are all amazing 🤗

[Uphill-downhill Graduate10]

I’ve needed a ‘kick up the bum‘ this week too and had just got back from a highly reluctant 5k when I saw your post which made me smile, thanks- good to see I’m not the only one, timely too 👍😀

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Uphill-downhill]

I don't know what it is about this week but just so weary. Obviously when I got back I was fully energised and instead of sitting down I cracked on with some other bits and pieces too. Hope you find your motivation soon 😊

[Kat332zz Graduate10]

Glad you did it and gained the benefit. I put my kit on first thing as otherwise I’d not make it out the door. I do go out in the mornings, kids all grown up and I don’t work , well not paid work anyway!

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Kat332zz]

Hubby starts work too early for me to run in the morning in the weeks but I've really started to enjoy my morning run at the weekend.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

Ooh Mum22boys!! So sorry I wasn’t around to give you the boot! 🥾😉, but I know how fantastic you are, so I assume everything went well!! Happy running!! ❤️

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

We all need a good kick up the bum from time to time 😉 when I got myself out there the run was good. Thank you for asking 😊

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Mum22boys]

That’s so true!! I’ve had a few just by coming into the forum and seeing how great everyone is doing!! Good for you!! 😁❤️
