Run 3 - Bad Run.

Hello Folks..

Well tonight I went out....and I have to admit that it wasn't an easy run. I don't know what it was, maybe not in the right frame of mind but found it quite difficult. 😑

I started off as normal, did my 5 min warm up walk and then off I went. Speed overall tonight was a lot slower and still ended up walking twice 😠😠.

On the bright side I hung in and managed to get to the 3k mark again.

I'm going to right this one off as a bad run and hope for a better reply on the next one.

Saul.

No such thing as a bad run Saul unless you're an olympian you just made the next run easier!

We all have them Saul but your upbeat attitude will get you through this programme smoothly. You hung in and that's what counts πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

I think it may have been a combination of not really being with it today and also a tad over confident as the previous two had gone so well.

The running gods don't like us to get too confident but the next run is usually a good one πŸ™‚

Don't worry about it - just get out there next time and try again!!

Sunday I had an asthma attack after 2k, tonight I ran 4k with no problems! Who knows why?! Sometimes there is no reason!!

Some runs are just like that, especially if you didn't get much sleep.
