Week 3 run 2

[Tedium1]

Excuses for not running today....

1. I have been working nights which makes me feel knackered.

2. My achilles was very painful after my last run and I don't want a proper injury.

3. Its raining.

So......I went out and did run 2. I did feel knackered but still did it and first time I have run in the rain. Its alright!

The buzz that I am getting out of this programme far outweighed the excuses so I'm taking that as telling me things are going in the right direction. Result!

No runner ever shrunk by getting wet, just the odd jumper perhaps! Hope your Achilles is OK.

Well done for not listening to the gremlins!

I've noticed that I feel so much more positive after a run as well so the negative excuses just don't seem to be as powerful! No running in rain as yet, but that's something I'm now looking forward too

I find that if I'm feeling confident and ready for a great run, it doesn't happen, yet if I'm feeling just as you did, Tedium, I end up having a good run! I'm sure that we can all think of a million excuses not to go out, but if you factor that if only takes around half an hour then there's the feel-good factor afterwards, those excuses become trivial.

Hah, I like the rain one, though, as I would love a bit of rain to fall and reduce the beetroot face I seem to have no matter what the weather is like!
