To run or not to run?

[Queenie17]

After a hard week I had talked myself out of a long run on saturday,then the announcement that I would be going into tier 4 just pushed me further down in mood, I was so fed up I even went to bed early 10pm😂Anyway, woke up at ridiculous o'clock, 5.30 and because I was so bored by the time it got light I put my running gear on and off I went, didnt know where or what distance.Decided to run 10k,however part way through music went off(forgot to charge it🙊)So I ran home and was delighted to discover that I had run just under 9 miles😄So glad I went out, feel loads better now!!

Wow that’s brilliant !! Similar experience here - tier 4 blues - though the park and roads were lovely and quiet when I set out I thought ‘this is more like it !!’ - but the park was full by the time I’d finished - quite frightening crowds in the children’s playground !!!! 😱just broke the 9 mile barrier for the first time. Feeling v pleased and double justification for eating extra mince pies.

Wow! Now there’s an impromptu run for you! Way to run through the frustrations.

Well done for getting out Queenie. Running will get us through tier 4 blues.

Got to have hope👍

The answer to that question is always ‘run’ as far as I’m concerned!🙂👍 That’s unless I’m injured of course😊

A 9 mile run is a fantastic effort! That’s about 14.5 K if I’m right (not necessarily the case🤣)

Well done, keep going and keep enjoying the therapeutic effects of running!😀

That sounds better in miles😂

9 miles, brilliant. The good news story of you moving into tier 4. By Easter you’ll be running half marathon distance 🤣 happy running 🤗

Thank you Grannyhugs. Every cloud eh🙊

Where would we be without running to help our poor heads in these rubbish times. Sounds like a good run despite running out if music (something I struggle with in the best of times). Happy running Queenie17. I hope you manage to have some sort of Christmas cheer.

Thank you, merry Christmas to you.
