Haha! Me too.... So much so, that I actually ran to the NRC Guided Run "Don't wanna run, run" - only 25 mins, and really slow (even for me), but, blimey.... still feel so good that I actually did it!

Well done!!!

I've never done that one, is it good? Is it one of the headspace runs?

Yes, it seems to be part of their "April" stack, but tbh, I really didn't want to run this morning... may have had something to do with the 🍷 yesterday .... it is just Coach Bennett, and he pretty much talks to you for nearly the whole 25 mins, but it did help to hear that I wasn't the only person in the world who has so many doubts when running.

Haha who can blame you with all that lovely Spanish 🍷 I might give that run a go when I really don't feel like running. You're definitely not alone in feeling like that!

Well done. Sometimes you just have to knock those gremlins off one at a time, and the finish is all the sweeter for it. Well done getting out, beating them and doing it; ,each one an achievement to be celebrated.
