🍏 Mind Games

After an excellent run on Monday in every respect, I set off this morning with Coach B with high expectations… the weather felt cooler today, so I did my warm up walk at a good pace. The cirrus clouds appeared delicate & wispy across a vast expanse of sky. … As I moved into my run at an easy pace my legs felt heavier than usual… toxic 10 Annie … Coach B was muttering something about celebrating every run … so I looked out at the waves crashing in & two surfers negotiating with them… the salty spray wafted over on the breeze …. Why oh why are my legs still feeling like lead and I am 20 mins in… this is my gentle run it’s usually good at this point.. I slept reasonably well.. I am hydrated… & so the mental check list sorted, I continue running at snail pace fighting off the “stop & walk gremlins” & then bingo … it starts to feel good & I run another 20 mins before a cool down walk and home!! Run done ✅ and I feel amazing at last!!!

Wonderful to read your post. Those gremlins are sneaky little beggars aren't they?

good! It sometimes takes a while to get over the hump. Feels great when you get into your groove and end up having a good run 👍🙂
