Kick up the ass needed!

[Polly2810]

Right I finally got to run today...my plans for Sunday did not happen..has been a shitty week with funeral and Dad in hospital (out now thank goodness) life has just got in the way recently. Anyway have been feeling very sluggish this week so back on the dreadmill (radiator still stuck on full blast sooooo hot!) decided a bit of intervals required to build up ...so on with the polly2810 glam rock playlist...thanks jancanrun it is epic!!! And off we go. Did wk 6 run 1, managed it comfortably!! Felt great after my shower and generally more alert...roll on Friday...early finish and can get out there in the fresh air. Daughter says maybe do a parkrun sat, but then would not be able to go out Friday, didnt think of that did I !! Will just see what happens I guess. Happy running peeps!! 😊👍🏻

Doesn't sound like any kick up the arse is needed at all. You are doing admirably.

Running and exercise in general can be a great cathartic release in times of great stress/trauma, but equally the body can simply not want to deal with the additional stress sometimes so just go with what feels right.

I have had a truly hellish week last week of the kind no one wnats to ever have ad it kept me from doing any exercise. Monday and Tuesday I got back on it and it was such a release of all the frustration and tension and I felt so much better for it. Today I hit a brick wall less than minutes in. Absolute body fail.

There is no rhyme or reason to it during difficult times. Just keep getting up and trying again.

Yeah that’s what I figure... just run when I feel I can! Sorry you have had a tough time!!

Sorry Rig,, sending you a hug x

[Sciencesue]

Sorry for your shitty week...

Hope next week is easier for you.

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Sciencesue]

Thanks...Hope so!!! Have had enough of this year...more than our fair of trials!! Never mind just life eh?

[Sciencesue in reply to Polly2810]

Yeah 2017 has been pretty crap...

Still I ran 20 mins today so that’s something 😝

[Nickycatwoman Graduate in reply to Sciencesue]

Sorry to hear that.... Hope running in some way helps. 2016 was a big pile of poo for us and I couldn't see the end of it. But on the other side now. Stay strong 🤗

Hope next week improves for you xx

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Go you... getting out there.. and doing it No kick needed !!!

[Hidden]

No kicking necessary, you kicked it into gear all by yourself. Go Polly and hope the next weeks are happier for you and your family.

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Your playlist helped massively!! 😃😃

[Hidden in reply to Polly2810]

Pleasure my dear....

[zobles in reply to Hidden]

Is the playlist on Spotify? I'm looking for inspiration for when I have to give up Laura in 2 weeks!

[Hidden in reply to zobles]

There’s a number on there, see here for details

[zobles in reply to Hidden]

Thank you!

[Newrunnerliz Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Just followed the link, as well as the playlists looks like there is loads of fun on here, I will return when I have time to read it in detail. Thanks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Liz-is-trying Graduate in reply to Polly2810]

Hi. Could I please ask what the playlist is. I know I need one but beyond that I feel lost. Any help much appreciated! 🏃

[Fishypieface Graduate]

Dreadmill - haha! Says it all, who wants to get on one of those?!! So - that's doubly brilliant that you did, in spite of everything that's going on....I'd be coming up with all sorts of excuses not to! You did it, all on your own without any kick up the butt. Gold stars all round!

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Fishypieface]

I really don’t like it, but I am not kitted out for night time outdoor running yet, will get it sorted soon. Mind you radiator going to be fixed soon do won’t be quite so bad...is like running in a sauna!!! 😂🤣

[Decker]

Sincerely hope you and Rig both have better weeks to come and that the runs help manage some of the stress where possible.

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Decker]

Yes I felt great afterwards...once I had showered!!!

[Decker in reply to Polly2810]

👍🏼Amazing! Nothing like a warm shower after a hard workout!

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to Decker]

No it was lush!! 🚿

[Angellw7y Graduate]

Go You, you're doing marvellous ....stupid life 😏. I need me a playlist 😊

Much love x

[quirkybee Graduate]

Hey Polly2810 what a tough one eh? You'e ddoing marvellously well, you should be pleased. If it were me, I'd leave Friday and get out for the PR and join in the fun. Have a double whmmy. Thinking of you whatever you decide lovely x

[Polly2810 Graduate in reply to quirkybee]

Just found out can’t do park run as nail appt same time! Sorry nails win every time!! 💅🏻🤣🤣

[nikkiwabit Graduate]

I don't think you need a kick either. Sounds like you are doing well despite what life has thrown at you. Think you may have given me a kick ty.

[tfcmagpie Graduate]

So pleased to catch up with you and your news. Seems like you have got all under control from here. I am still running and loving it just lost my password for here. Will update in a post later.
