A funny old end of week.

Food morning runners, it's Friday! I hope everybody well.

Two runs in one round up today, Tuesday I went out for a 10k and felt slow and heavy throughout! I actually did something I've not done since I started running ... I quit at half way! My stubbornness will usually never allow this behaviour but I'd just had enough and felt guilty as I trudged the remainder of the 10k home at a slow walking pace ๐Ÿ™„

Today I'm still not feeling it, legs heavy and no pace in them but still went for a 5k in 29:30. Only just sneaked in under 30 mins when I'm hoping to be getting closer to 25mins.

Glad the runs done though, done now until next week. Weekend drinking on the cards ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‚

Have a good weekend everyone ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Ah that slow walk home, Iโ€™ve been there! I find it particularly strange as when it happens (thankfully rarely) itโ€™s not normally because Iโ€™m in pain or exhausted, just one of those canโ€™t be bothered days, even though you then have to walk the same distance home anyway. It makes no sense. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Enjoy the drink ๐Ÿป

Some you win, some you lose but at least you're taking part and getting out there on a bad day. It'll sort itself out as you persevere.
