I'm having a dreadful day at work. Moreover, I feel soo sleepy that I'm yawning all the time. (Yeap, I did have a very shoet walk outside to wake me up -> didn't work).
I have no idea how I will manage to go running after work. It's supposed to be W2 R1, as I didn't go runnin Saturday (or Sun) due to 5h (18km) hike on Sat.
Please help me somehow put my gear on and go out runnin in rain (hopefully only showers). My plan was to run 4.15pm just after work. I learnt my lesson so I'm reaching for help earlier.
Thank you in advance

Sounds to me like a run after work is exactly what you need! If you're having a bad day, then running is a chance to switch off and unwind from that, and refocus. And if it rains? Well, that just stops you overheating!
If you lay down, the day will continue to be boring, you will go to bed tonight feeling like you achieved nothing and wasted your day. Go for a run, walk, shuffle. Why...because you can. If you won't do it for you, do it for those who can't run but would love to. Do it in defiance after the terrible news this weekend.
I'd personally not get hung up about it but just think to yourself "I'm going to go out in the fresh air, have a good run, good or bad, and enjoy the outdoors and feel so much better for doing it" - oh, and make sure when you get home after work, get changed STRAIGHT AWAY, don't even sit down on the sofa, warm up, headphones on, app and music on and up 'n' off you go - that's what I have to do sometimes and indeed, will probably have to do that tonight too - I haven't run since last Thursday (and only recently graduated) so feeling a bit like a blob!!! Just remind yourself constantly how much better you feel after each run and how amazing you are and it is for you - enjoy x
Tell me about it ......... been there many a time, all the excuses in the book but something recently just 'clicked' and now if I think I'm beginning to think like that again, I tell myself "right you, off your lardy arse, go out in the sunshine (did I really just say that!?), rain, whatever (apart from ice and gale force winds!) and enjoy a run for however long or short that may be" and I always feel so much better for having done it! Enjoy x
Feeling a bit like that myself today and had a day on the sauce yesterday to make things worse. I'm going to give it a bash though. Let's both just do it!
Probably half 5, by the time I get in and changed. Got a niggling ache in my shin too, but unless I'm told otherwise I'll be out :). You'll probably be finished before me.
Agree with RainbowC . Think how much better you will feel after your run!
Dreadful day at work. So what at least you did your run. Not a day wasted after all. Take that frustration and use it as a fuel to drive you through your run.
Yes, it might feel hard, but you will be re-energised and refreshed...lovely rain...and you will probably sleep all the better, rather than having an overtired, stressed out, night's rest!!
Plus.. I have a morning run due tomorrow and there is very heavy rain forecast..but I am still heading out
I did it! It wasn't the easiest run my dog was anxious, especially during brisk walking periods. But we did it! Now she is resting, abd I am stretching
Well done for getting out there-I find my dog can be good motivation to go for a run, although we do have issues if rabbits pop out at us 🐰. I always think I'm cheating have a cheeky tow!
