It was a mental challenge after all ...😜

What was I saying about β€˜it’ being more a physical than a mental challenge? Well I lied!! It took every bit of mental strength to go out on a very cold, grey, wet and generally miserable Manchester morning yesterday for W6R1. And it was flippin great. Cold - yes! Wet - yes! But absolutely exhilarating. Best of all - I am not put off by bad weather which let’s face it folks, is pretty much a given when you live β€˜up north β€˜ πŸ˜œπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Good! If you can keep running through winter then nothing can faze you

I think it’s just the thought of going out that pits ismoff. When we actually get out there it’s not,too bad, usually πŸ˜ƒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘

That's why I'm glad I live Down South,The Weather! But it's also pretty crap here this morning!😊

Yes, most of it is a mental challenge and like the weather that too can be pretty crap, so have to try and ignore it and push on..not always easy though..😊

If you can run W6 in those awful conditions, nothing can stop you from reaching the goal of 30mns! Well done!

Oh I do hope so, Tx Anthie πŸ‘πŸ™‚

I know what you mean - 'warm duvet' vs 'cold weather' - no contest, except that now I have my Mr Smooth reminder and when he says go, I know I have to. I am glad you got out there and it was exhilarating and you're now not put off, it takes determination to do that.

Well done you...
