To run or not to run?

[IgaT]

I promised myself to write before it will be too late, even if there is a chance that I'll overcome my laziness by myself. I wanted to do my W2R3 today.

Reasons not to run:

I feel tired and sleepy. I feel lazy. I will go for 30 min walk with my dog anyway (before potential run). I just don't feel like running / I don't want to run

The reasons to run:

It's a nice weather, some sun shinong through clouds. Tomorrow is supposedly raining. My dog will be happy, if I'd go woth her. Ot will be 1 step closer to my motivational gift - bungee leash It'd be my last W2 run, so next week week 3 that sounds much better than week 2 It'd burn quite a few calories, allowing me to be closer to my weight goal and allowing to eat withoit a regret my today's delicious dinner - creamy, garlic, pesto king prawns (approx. 800kcal).

It's​ clear that I should go run. Then why I didn't manage to convince myself?

Go IgaT! It's gorgeous out there. Don't think about it, just put yourself on autopilot and go. You'll feel really smug afterwards. In fact off you go before you walk the dog 🐶!

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Janeeshaw]

I can't before. I need to walk her first thing after coming back from work, as she waited 8h.

..and the dog will love you for it too x

[Janeeshaw Graduate in reply to IgaT]

Ok can you walk in your running gear and then head straight out? No thinking! Nice glass of wine as reward when you get back!

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Janeeshaw]

I'm oit with her in my running gear

[Janeeshaw Graduate in reply to IgaT]

Yippee - go you!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Run.... just run.... I am older than you... so, just do as you are told and get out there...

PS

You will feel amazing afterwards and have an appetite for your dinner this evening

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Nice try Oldfloss

But I am young and rebelious

For now, I put my gear on - as they say first step to success and I'm going out for a walk. I hope I (and/or you) convince myself to run afterwards.

Okay..blackmail.. " You are really making me sad"

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Yeap, it works better for me. I am this kind o person who tries to make everybody happy and smiling and feel bad if couses bad feeling

But there, I did it, I hope you're happy again

I am blaming the full moon as so many seem to be posting about the same lethargy today! However finally today I have got out there much later than planned and despite many gremlins, happy to report they are asleep now and I feel glad I have done it. You clearly want to do it so just one little push more. (PS can I have some of that dinner)

[IgaT Graduate in reply to nikkiwabit]

I can send you a photo (probably) and recipe. Maybe even webpage of the guy from who I'm buying fresh fishes and sea food. He is selling​ it in few ciies

[nikkiwabit Graduate in reply to IgaT]

Afraid just over eaten but thoroughly enjoyed my version of what you described. Had carbs but no cream (still tasted creamy) and I think about the same calories. Didn't expect recipe ideas from this community lol

[IgaT Graduate in reply to nikkiwabit]

Suprises are hiding everywhere

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to nikkiwabit]

Well done you... Those pesky gremlins!!!

I, on the other hand, have felt energised today...( always been odd), got out early.. did a speedy ( for me) 3K up a few hills, got attacked by wet grass and killer buttercups... have sorted half my loft out and done two loads of washing

[nikkiwabit Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

That is good going!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to nikkiwabit]

I am a bit loopy... Husband calls me whizz wham!

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Wow! Speedy you are today! Good for you!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to IgaT]

I give myself bonus points, for age, wet , long grass and inclines

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I got few extra points for high temp and humidity. Maybe half a point for 8h work? Am I allowed to do that?

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to IgaT]

You are indeed sweetie 10 bonus points

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

You didn't count your waking up in the morning

[IgaT Graduate]

OMG! I am barely walking today. Usually I get more alive during walkin her. But I feel like zombie walking :/

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to IgaT]

Right.. that settles it.. a run will shake the zombies off

[IgaT Graduate]

OK, I will try. This is all I can promise. My dog was also very slow and lazy today. She got tired very fast, so I am going with​out her.

Maybe I won't finish, maybe I will. But at least nobody say I didn't try

See you later and thank you!

[RainbowC Graduate in reply to IgaT]

Good on you! The only thing to regret is not trying... Looking forward to your post-run report

[IgaT Graduate]

My post-run report. I did it and I am still alive. More after stretching

[Hidden in reply to IgaT]

well done IgaT

I hope you take this is the spirit in which it is intended-

IgaT, You are VERY needy

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Oh yes I am needy and greedy I always want more​!
