W65-W68R2 - late personal log

I can't keep up at all. I try to be in maintenance mode and run at least 5 kilometers 3 times a week. There is no strength for more.

I only ran once in one week and missed two runs because I was resting after the covid vaccination.

Today is the second day after the flu vaccination and in a fortnight I have another vaccination, this time against whooping cough, tetanus and something else (I forgot what :-)).

I'm self-employed so I can't afford to be sick

so prevention in the form of vaccination is a clear responsible choice.

But I can only be in maintenance mode at the moment.

I look forward to returning to a longer route in time.

I'm putting a bulk log here because it helps me not give up. :-)

I wish everyone good health and happy running!

I find in times of busyness (it’s the same for me at the moment) it’s helpful to focus on what I’ve managed to do rather than the runs that didn’t happen. That way, my lone 5k is a massive win and I don’t beat myself up over the 10k worth of runs that didn’t fit in to an impossible schedule. It’s a small change of mindset that has a big effect on me.

Hope it’s a good week for you coming up. ❤️
