Group 10k/60 minute plan. Finally on Week 4 :)

...the idea was to be on Week 6 by now🙃

Anyway, this morning I just wasn't feeling it. It wasn't actually too bad outside, just grey and gloomy, rather than grey, wet and gloomy. Mr Y didn't do his usual encouragement so I made breakfast. As I ate I realised I felt like I was missing out a bit so decided that Week 4 of the Magic Plan's 20 minute run would be the compromise I needed.

Got on with some work for an hour or two, sitting in my dressing gown, to allow time to digest my breakfast, the perks of working from home! Also a reminder that I had something I needed to do before my shower. It worked, and just after 11.30 I was out the door.

Definitely needed the boost of a guided run so found 'Believe in the Run', 20 minutes with Coach Taylor. I haven't run with her before but was impressed with her approach.

Soundtrack was from BBC's Pacesetter, rock and indie. This is a great playlist but expires tomorrow so I spent a bit more time fiddling with it than I should have, skipping tracks I didn't like so I could listen to the ones I do - Sweet Dreams, You Really Got Me, Holding Out for a Hero, Whip It. As I approached the end of the run it was Anarchy in the UK. Couldn't resist a singalong, goodness knows what anyone watching would have thought about a chubby little granny running slowly along the waterfront singing 'I wanna beeeee Anarcheeeeee'

Oh I felt so much better afterwards, a couple more km run and all the cobwebs blown away!

It's a horrible time of year so be proud that you got out. Grey, gloomy, wet, day inday out but hopefully soon it'll be warmer and sunny

Have to hold on to the promise of spring!🌷🌷🌷

The funny part is, once you're actually out there it's nowhere near as bad as the anticipation.

It was for me the other day but I know what you mean, in general once you are out it's fine
