Morning run

Ok so I was all set in my mind. Get up early get out there and do run 3, but voices in my head are telling me otherwise! I run along the local cycle path which in the afternoon/early evening does not concern me at all being on my own, but for some reason this morning the idea makes me anxious? Do I think I will wait and go out later today with my son and his girlfriend...although they are still in wk 4 so I won't be "with" them, but just seems to make me happier knowing someone I know is around. Stupid eh??

🤣 yes I know? Think it's just the thought of 25 mins with nobody coaxing me on...I had 3 helpers for the 20 minutes last week!!

Hey, stranger things have happened. I've often wished I had listened to my gut feeling about something. You're running today right? Who cares what time as long as you get it done? ☺😊

Feeling safe is important, but most people are nice! I would also run with family if I could, even if they do a different route you can set off and arrive together and have a post run banana!

Get out and do it. I have been and done WK6 R3 and expected you to have finished before me. You have been excellent so far don't let other concerns put you off you will be fine.

You have to run alone at some point. It's fine honestly 😀👍
