All I can say is that I went out. I was out for 30 minutes but my mood was low and it was late afternoon rather than my usual early morning. I had just watched my car being scratched by someone's careless parking and was feeling pretty grim. So despite it being a beautiful afternoon and the views being stunning I had no ability to keep running and kept slowing to a walk. I'd hoped to run off the gloom but failed to do so.

At least you still made the effort to go out even if you didn't perform as well as you'd hoped! Actually getting up to go is sometimes the hardest part, keep it up :)

Thank you. That's a generous way to look at it.

Oh well! At least you got out and made some effort, we all have the odd off day, it happens! I hope you collared that person who scratched your car!😠😊

Absolutely well done on getting out there. How about: running wasn't fab, but at least the views and the afternoon were stunning :)

We had a nice sunset here too but I had to enjoy it from a bus, running tomorrow (I hope).

Oh poo. Crappy person scratching your car, did you get it sorted? Or did they cut and run?

I am sorry I missed this earlier, you did well getting out no matter how short the run, they all count. And sometimes a run can't fix the gloom, but you tried.. big hugs from Italia.

Well "I went out" beats "I didn't go out"

Next time will be better!

Thanks folks. I do know who did it - I know them only too well and am waiting for even an acknowledgement that it happened let alone that they are sorry for driving so badly. I was standing watching. It's complicated. About to go and get prices for the work.

Might do a park run tomorrow to try and get a bit of buzz. On the other hand, the running has been difficult these past weeks so I might not want to let myself down with a lousy time.
