I’ve had an odd sort of week where I’ve not actually been ill but not 100% right either. I’ve had 4 days this week where I’ve found myself waking up from a Nana nap that I’d had no intention of having….I’ve woken extra early several days then slept in yesterday when I needed to get up…. My stomach has felt a bit odd and I’ve had no real appetite but nothing I could really put my finger on. .

This morning I woke at 6.30, decided it was a bit chilly to get up and went back to sleep till 7.30, then got up and went downstairs for a drink. Planned on a run this morning but everything ached and I just didn’t have any oomph. Chatted to my daughter , who’d stayed over and was trying to work up to going home ( she works from home Friday mornings) and finally left so she could log on for 8.00. Then I’d more or less talked myself out of running and had breakfast ( I don’t usually eat before I ran apart from maybe a banana and a protein shake) and was on the verge of not bothering. Then I sat and wasted time in a “ scroll hole” on my phone…. Until I gave myself a stern talking to at 9.30 and got my gear on and ran!!!

And I managed B210k week 3 run 2!!! Well pleased with myself after that. And I wasn’t even that slow today. Not quite as good as run1 but after such a rubbbish start to the day I’ll take that. 😁

Congratulations on that run. Those ones are hard found and to be particularly proud of. They really show you what you’re made of!

Absolutely love your leggings by the way!!!

Glad you made it out and did it in spite of not feeling on top form. You certainly look on top form in the photo. Love the whole outfit! Feel like I really need to up my game on “athleisure dressing” ! 🤣

I always feel more cheerful when I’m wearing something bright and colourful 😀. My hair was quite gingery when I was younger and my mum always used to say “oh you can’t wear red!! You can’t wear yellow!! You can’t wear orange !!” But now I am silver haired I can wear whatever colour I like and I do!!
