First ‘run’ in over 3 weeks 😬

So turns out I’m far better at talking myself out of running than I am at talking myself into going out! It’s to cold, it’s to wet, it’s to dark, I don’t have time! So this week I have a week off work and I’ve decided no excuses! So off I went this morning to tackle w6r2. And hurrah I managed it even after a 3 week break! Knees kinda felt it during my the second run but I carried on. Even managed to get round without getting caught in any rain.

Well done :-)

Well done Lauralou, maybe give yourself an extra days rest before your next one? I think a 3 week break maybe a little more than ideal away from the running, but then if you're generally a fit bunny, it may not be a problem.

But blowing well done finding the motivation to go out and do it. Happy running for W6R3

I just tell myself that there is no choice involved and 99.723% of the time I'm glad I went!

Lots of people just stay on the sofa getting fat. Nothing wrong with that if that is what you want from life.

Well done for getting out.
