I think this time of year is tough for many. Add to that the huge additional stresses of our crazy world just now and I think it's understandable that so many of us have days where it just feels easier to stay in, or miss that run or put it off until 'tomorrow'!
I am finding my weekday runs really hard to get out on at the moment. Whereas I would normally run twice during the week after work, this is frequently dropping to once (plus my longer weekend run).
It is true what they say however; we never regret a run - only the ones we didn't do! However tough it feels getting out the door after work on a cold wet, dark eveningπ©, once I am out there I always feel better and it lifts and energises me for the rest of my day.
Running helps me navigate my way through the emotional rollercoaster that is life at the moment and I'm sure I speak for many when I say I wouldn't be without it!π
Today's was the muddiest run of the winter so farπ¦ππ½ββοΈ - a 12k slog through mud and puddles but cool and sunny also. Needless to say, the legs now ache but the mind is at peace!!π€
So next time you're delaying and hesitating about that run - take a minute to remind yourself how it feels when it's done...π
