What an amazingly beautiful back drop to your rather sad face. I didn't know what week you were on so I read your prior posts. A move to Ireland is a big move. Fatigue is likely to have set in and well done you for moving countries and keeping up your running schedule! I am feeling a little flat in week 3 and I've put it down to a lot of other stuff that is in my head at the moment. Stay determined and be forgiving and gentle with your mind and body as it takes on the evolution of running while everything else is moving for you also. Best of luck and I look forward to more pics of Ireland.

Some days are just like that! I had a brilliant run on Tuesday but today it was hard, who knows what the next one will be like. Your scenery is amazing though.

There are days like that, you don't feel the love every time (and TBH, I get the biggest kick out of the pride of having forced myself out of the door and shutting up Gary the Gremlin some days). Even slog runs are runs, so chuck it in the f**k -it bucket, pat yourself on the back for getting out there anyway, and keep going - you're another step closer to graduation!

Love that face! :) I pull it myself most days! Some runs are shockers, some are surprisingly ok. You are out there doing it, closer to the big 30 mins. That's pretty awesome :)
