First Run after Vaccine

First time in ages I’d taken 3 days off as the vaccine left me feeling tired, grumpy, and a bit low. Also my arm has been so painful I didn’t fancy it jiggling along causing more pain. But anyway, got my running togs on and off I went! My legs felt fairly strong after a nice break but my breathing wasn’t great, but I’ll take that. I have to say I’ve been feeling really demotivated the last few days, and even questioned why I started running in the first place - seems to be one more thing I have to tick off on a massive to do list. BUT after this morning’s run I remembered why I keep doing it! IT’S FLIPPING BRILLIANT! So I’ll keep on ticking it off that list. Happy running all 😀🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️.

I am feeling exactly the same way, I mean about being demotivated to run. It starts to feel as a chore to do instead of having fun. It's a really weird feeling, because I was loving running so much! Today I am going to do my tour the other way around to see if some variation might help. Fingers crossed! Also fingers crossed that I don't get dizzy from running clockwise instead of normally counter-clockwise, haha!

And congrats on the jab!

Ah thanks Evy, glad it’s not just me! I really love running but I think I just realised it’s for the long haul, and have to keep at it. I think doing your tour the other way round is a great idea, hopefully it’ll remotivate you. We can do this BlackScorpion! We’ve come this far 😀👍👏🏼🏃‍♀️.
