W9 R2 What a slog!

Maybe it was over confidence, not having a snack before I went out or just too blinkin' warm this morning but that was real mind over matter. I ran 35 mins on Monday and nearly completed 5K but this morning was the hardest yet- so happy when Runkeeper Kim said I'd done 30 mins- still it's in the bag, things can only get better!

Not every run is going to be easy as there are lots of factors to take into account. The weather, whether you have eaten, whether there is a Y in the day... Some runs just work while others are just hard, hard work. You did it though - enjoy you last pre-grad run.

Well done! I tried and failed to do the same run this morning, so just keep thinking, at least you did it! Just one to go

Something in the air today I think, there’s a few posts with people having a hard time this morning. A new playlist and renewed respect on Friday I think.

No such thing as the f word just a short diversion on the way to the finish line. Hope it goes well,you can do this!

The longer runs in the plan are tough mentally, but push on through and you slowly condition your brain into accepting that this level of punishment is totally normal...........it soon will be!

Well done.
