Really didn't want to do this run, felt sore all over, I've had a bit of a cold and just generally meh.
Forced myself out of the door.
That not feeling able or in the mood for a run didn't really change much during the run - had plenty of niggles and gremlins telling me 'just stop' - legs were like lead at the end but I finished it.
Getting there slowly but surely.

Slow and steady is the way...you beat the gremlins.. and you were not on form. A runner.. you did it... take a rest.. and if needs be, take two rest days..
it's a journey, not a race... so just go with it Well done!
Well done for getting out there. I started week 8 on Tuesday and found it tough as well. I think it's just this time of year (too much food, no routine, and too many germs flying around!!
I'm fine with routine at the moment - not having a drink at all in December has definitely made the running easier and I've not overeaten - but I agree about the bugs flying around - hopefully some warmth in Florida from Sunday onwards will cure my sniffles.
I had an extra rest day (well actually not rest but not running), ran Monday and then Thursday - don't think a 16 hour day working on Wednesday did me any favours - Last day in an office for a couple of weeks today
