That was a tough run this morning, pushing my little one in the jogger buggy against a gale force head-wind in parts. That aside, I think I may have experienced 'the wall' fairly early on but am not sure if it was that or just the extra effort needed to keep pushing forward? I really felt like just jacking it all in for today for a bit, like I just couldn't do it. My legs felt heavy like when I first started & my breathing was a struggle. I didn't stop though, I let my legs go on autopilot & just concentrated on my breathing & moving forward in a running style even if it may have been very slow. And then I was fine. Well, as fine as any previously very unfit person who's taken up running with a baby in tow in a windy nature park. Weirdly I then got cross because a tiny section of my route was flooded so I had to tip-toe through the water in a defiant 'I'm not going to stop running' dance whilst discovering that my lovely new breathable trainers do indeed let in water. That seemed to help because I was not going to let anything stop me!
I can't help but feel though that my running buddy is not taking this as seriously as me...
