Had to force myself out last night wasn't feeling it at all and it reflected on my run.

It was a miserable evening and I nearly chocked on my first sip of my drink. After I composed myself I got my head down and decided to take it easy and just clock off the miles.

The rest of my run went fairly smoothly but I couldn't relax into it and it felt like a bit of a chore. The encouraging thing was that actually the pace I set was a pb and I really wasn't trying for one.

I feel happy in the fact that I completed the run and am quite excited to be 1 run away from a goal I never thought I would reach. I aim to be more focused for this and am going to treat myself to a completely new route at a local park to celebrate this hard but amazing journey.

Well done you. Can I suggest you go running without the drink next time. If you keep hydrated throughout, you shouldn't need it. One less thing to carry as well

Thanks. Think I will leave the drink out next time although when it was really hot it was a refreshing boost I do find it is also a bit of a distraction that I could probably live with out.

Pesky gremlins. I'm glad you rocked it anyway! One more run and that'll be you in the Graduate lounge then. I'll get my pompous ready :)

You did it so well done

A new route for the final run sounds like a great plan

Enjoy yourself. Good luck! 😃
