W39R2 - Maintenance week

Today's conversation I had with my inner enemy:

Enemy:

- You didn't sleep very well, you could skip the run today.

- You know how you cough. You're getting a virus. If you go for a run, you won't get better and you'll get sick. You remember - it was similar to your last run before you got covid. And you don't want that?!

- You have so much work! You can't afford to be sick!

- If you stay at home, you'll ensure that you don't get the virus.

- Imagine the sweet rest when you don't go anywhere!!!

And sometime in the first quarter of the run, the enemy changed strategy:

- You're such a dork that you'll only run this short route you know, huh?

- At least take it through the watchtower. It's not much further, but it's uphill!

I resisted and returned happily.

I feel tired but happy that I didn't give up.

Happy running! :D

🍏😊🤗Drink lots of water! Best thing to do anyway but especially if you have symptoms. Well done on ignoring the negativity & running! Hope it helps the work to get done too!

Thank you very much! I'm holding on for now, but right now I'm in a company where a colleague in the next office is coughing like she's dying.

There's a lot of whooping cough in the news, so I'm hoping

that it's not that.. 🫣
