It happens, can get the odd run like that, but you completed it! Well done! I'm also enjoying a cuppa!😊

Thanks, I'm having my customary two days of rest before embarking on the home run.

Did Parkrun with my 6 year old great nephew a few weeks ago, he got me for an iced Danish afterwards in the cafe!😁

It shows you are more of a runner by keeping going on three cylinders.

Enjoy the cuppa!

Yep this is where you earn your running stripes. Its easy to get to the finish line when it is all going smoothly.

But the runs where you struggle... well those are the ones that build your mental toughness; much more satisfying - maybe not a the time - but what you have achieved today you will be able draw on next time things don't go your way and know you can beat it again.

It's good to complete those runs where you aren't firing on all cylinders . I have only had one run I think , that I got into the groove on, the rest have been titanic struggles!

I'm sorry to hear that you've struggled, but its heartening to hear that you're still running, stick with it, be positive and the tide will turn and you'll have smile as the widest ocean on your face as you ' stand on the podium.

Not what you're looking for?
