Stop focusing on the wrong things and just run....

[TheHack]

That was my message to myself this evening. So I loaded up an great 80s rock play list put on my trainers and did just that.

No looking at pace or distance, tonight was just for the love of it and because I can! Without the drag of timings and targets I was able to have a fab run. The stats were great but that isn't important.

Sometimes you have to just remind yourself that the run is for you and you alone. It was far more satisfying than a chocolate bar or bag of crisps or even, dare I say it, a glass of prosecco. The run served it's purpose and I feel fab x

Running to 80s rock music - right with you sister! Running without the stats? Nah, on your own :-).

I love hearing about good runs like this! I agree with yatesco though - it sounds idyllic and very zen, but I have no idea what I'd do without connecting my watch and analysing all my stats immediately after my warm down stretches?! I feel like if I just got in the shower then the balance of the universe would be out of sync or something?!

Sounds great. No pressures.😊

My run today was sans music too due to flat batteries, but I still just enjoyed the freedom being able to run gives you.
