Well I went home after doing only give mins this morning, had a nice warm bath and started thinking. I ended up getting out the bath, joggers and running shoes on and I've only gone and done it with some sheer determination!!! It feels incredible and I've got my running mojo back :-)

Thankyou :-) I still feel so glad I just went. Promised myself something nice to eat when I got back so I've just had that. :-)

Yesssssssssssssssss! You did it! You should give yourself a pat on the back for that. Yep guts and determination will get you through. That made me laugh out loud. Getting out the bath to go out running after you'd quit. I can imagine the conversation you were having with yourself. Verbal tennis I call it! LOL

Great stuff. You can now look forward to the next run with renewed confidence. Just take it steady, slowly does it, and you'll be fine. Good luck

You made me laugh out loud also haha! I just couldn't allow myself to be beat lol. I ran like a pro the first half of the run then promptly thought what the *uc* am I going lol but I carried on anyway ! Xx

Yeah, that's the spirit. Take each run by the scruff of its scraggy neck and wring the hell out of it. Then go home and have a bath. You got the thing in the wrong order. What are you like!

Not what you're looking for?
