when what should be a terrible run turns out great..

Morning folks!

I had planned to go running this morning, but ate a load of rubbish yesterday, had a late night, was up with a sick kiddo for hours overnight, had world book day meltdowns to manage in the morning and was generally bad tempered all round.

I decided to just to a short run to make sure I didn’t shirk but once I got started I felt so much better I just kept going. My last longer run was 7k and I did my first park run last weekend at a faster pace that I ever run (thanks to a fitter friend) - today I managed 7.5k at a pace a not far off my park run pace.

There was every reason for that run to be horrible and it ended up being great and probably turned my whole day around 😊

That’s brilliant! It’s amazing how many times that happens-your best runs come from starting when you’re not really up for it. Well done! That tactic of aiming for a short run and keeping going if you feel like it is such a good one.

Much as I love books, I’m glad world book day doesn’t come around more often than it does…

Glad that it all sorted... well done you!! The unexpected great run can be absolutely wonderful!

Those runs are the best aren't they? You go out feeling a bit defeated by life and by the time you get back you are smiling again, well done for getting out
