Start me up!! 🎶 💃 🏃‍♀️ 🦌😃

[Runforurlife]

So, I sat at my desk working solidly all day in my running kit. All good intentions .. I was definitely going out for a run today. The option for a lunchtime run passed me by in a blur of Zoom calls. Then my “reasons” why I wouldn’t/shouldn’t be going out for a run today popped into my head:

- my whole body is still super tired from the mega strength training session I did on Weds. I really shouldn’t overdo it, perhaps a run tomorrow instead...

- it’ll be getting dark soon, not a fan of running in the dark

- I’m tired now and I’ll be getting hungry soon, I haven’t eaten enough for a run!!

Then I came in here and read of Jericho’s epic run, and GailX telling me to get out there, get my shoes on, and Peter44 looking forward to my report of my run 😬 eek!

7.2km done boom 💥💥💥 Wow that was good and I needed that. New(ish) route, mixed it up, kept it steady but had a few gazelle moments too. The Rolling Stones came on midway “Start Me Up” yeh baby! I was off... Garmin ran out of juice towards the end but I felt like I was at about 7km so eased off and it’s another run in the bag that so nearly wasn’t!! Thanks so much gang for your encouragement and inspo. Worked a treat!! 🦌🦌🦌

Brilliant way to end a busy working day/week. Well done. Happy running 🤗

[Runforurlife Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks GH! Best way to end my manic week. Never regret a run 😊

There you go, 7k done!!! You'll be glad, as weather is very wet again tomorrow 🌧 but seriously, well done on getting out, with all your work commitments, zoom calls, etc, i've got loads of time, hence staying out a bit longer today 🤣 i'm sure your run, built up your appetite a bit more. 🦌🦌🦌

[Runforurlife Graduate10 in reply to Peter44]

Yesss 💪🏼 Well I had to get out so you could read my run report 😂😂 So glad I made it, really needed to move and it was great to be out motoring along, nice steady pace to the “magic 7k”.

Excellent stuff well done for getting out despite the busy day at work! 👍🏻 Good distance too 💪🏻

[Runforurlife Graduate10 in reply to Jericho2332]

Thanks 👍🏻 That run felt so good, even if I did hear my email notification pings as I ran, quickly put them out of my mind and got in the zone!

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Runforurlife]

Absolute best thing to clear the head 👌🏻I'm already thinking of where to go next 🤣

[Basil1066 Graduate10]

Great post! been a week since been out for a run. Weather horrid and I run early but dark cold and wet isn't so enticing. Anyway, new rain jacket today motivated me to get out at 7am in the sleet - 45 mins not bad in a headwind. Was it worth it?? yeah! course it was! 😇😉

[Runforurlife Graduate10 in reply to Basil1066]

Well done for getting out there in the wet and dark at 7am. That is true commitment! Funny how a new rain jacket can spur you on..I was the same when I got mine at Christmas 😀

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 All those excuses forming an orderly queue in your head? Those blummin gremlins were kicked into touch by your vrb’s...team work 💥

[Runforurlife Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

Hah the gremlins are real at the moment! But now I know what they are and eventually bat them away 💪🏼💪🏼

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Runforurlife]

Good...you are stronger than them, remember that 💪🏻👏🏻
