So after feeling a complete failure today and having tears etc due to work n family drama all at same time , I truly did not feel like running...even stayed in bed this morning sulking for a bit...

Several posts here inspired me to dust myself off and get out after work...

So off I went... starting run 3 of my 10km program...

First felt oh no shouldn't have done this today but got into swing .... then in my ear she said 5 min cool down walk.. I thought nah got more in the tank , so carried on got to my street and was at 8 + k so thought hmm shall I try... so around and around the block I ran and I did it ..

And you know what it feels fantastic !!!

Thank you all so much for the inspiration ❤
