Gremlins I finally understand what you are talking about

8 Replies

Week 9 run 2 today and throughout the run I could hear voices telling me to stop. How weird. Needless to say l ignored them. I wonder where they came from?

Good luck with W9R3 Cath.

Yes, those gremlins...telling everyone to stop running and walk...then stop walking and go back to sofa :-(

I'm going to invent a gremlin gun - might even win a Nobel Prize if I do!

Great idea. Could it be light weight so I could take it out with me when I go for a run

Just remember they are the couch gremlins who want you to join them back on the couch. Mean spirited and green with envy. Laugh at them and keep running. They will wither and die.

Don't know? Gremlins! No such thing. If they don't exist they can't bother you

Woho! Week 9, Run 2. Come on Cath!!!!! Enjoy your Graduation Run, then come back and tell us all about it

I agree with Miss W, and if you say "I don't believe in gremlins" they drop down dead anyway!

Nearly there....

I just stick my fingers in my ears and stamp my feet whilst shouting ' You don't exist, You don't exist' - the other Parkrunners just give me a wide berth :)
