Not feeling it tonight 😢

[Polly2810]

Well tonight’s run was not particularly enjoyable. No idea why, just not feeling the love!! First and last 5 tough as ever, in between bit ok but can’t say I loved it!! Think maybe just a bit tired and also had to take a migraine pill earlier so maybe that’s was it...just dunno 🤷‍♀️

Maybe Thursday will be better, thought I would go from strength to strength once actually made it!!! 😩

Hey P, if you'd taken a migraine pill that's probably it.... I found running with a headache or nascent one an absolute nightmare... there's something about the pounding of the ground, that doesn't help at all.

Rest easy and go out another day

Thanks Jcr...probably shouldn’t have gone out but not run since Saturday so felt I should be! It was just hard going 😩

Don't be down about, just relax and do as Jan says. Keep smiling Polly.

Thanks M, just feel a bit flat today!! Obviously the adrenaline from Saturday has worn off lol 😩

For every "bad" run you will have 6 good ones. So don't sweat it. And it's worth it for the good ones, right?

Be kind to yourself, and rest. 😘

Thanks, yes will do, was awake at 5 work 7.30 to 5 then straight out for run as soon as I got home so maybe just too much!! Next time will be a good one!! 😊

Def don't beat yourself up I have had many a bad run or just not felt as good as others have been it's all part of the 'journey' migraines are evil 🤓

Stay strong the force (and us lot) are def with you 👍🏃🏼‍♀️

[Lottie_C Graduate]

Focus on the good runs. When you're not well it's bound to be harder. You're doing so well

Taking a migraine tablet always zaps my energy as dilates blood vessels and I just feel a bit spaced out.

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Kazzybe]

That makes sense!! Maybe next time I have to take one don’t run then!

[Fishypieface Graduate]

You could be worn out after the weekend - that's a whole lot of adrenaline you burnt up! I couldn't run after a really hard day at work, especially with a migraine. Well done for even getting out there!! Many wouldn't bother. But you did. Pretty amazing to me

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Fishypieface]

Thanks...I wanted to go out just sad it Didn’t really happen! Kept going the full 30 mins though.

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate]

Graduation doesn't make things magically easier, unfortunately. And if anything progress is slower - and sometimes you even go backwards! But we just keep chipping away and one day you notice that you're now running 10k regularly, or that 5k is no longer an absolutely exhausting challenge, or running for that bus is no problem, or those jeans are just a bit looser, or the friend you haven't seen for a while tells you you're looking great - the list goes on.

But there will always be horrible runs aswell! And the next run is nearly always better!

[Fishypieface Graduate in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

Very true! I had a hard time after graduating and felt like I was going backwards, but I stuck at it (cos I'd come so far!) and things improved. You talk sense Jayseeskinny!

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

Thanks that makes me feel better!
