Ok not gonna let year end beat me...bitch of a day 4 more to go and if get done what I need to won’t need to go in between xmas and New Years..Home at 7 knackered but thought right woman you have not come this far to be beaten by a pile of flaming invoices so got the trainers on and got in the dreadmill...not run for a couple of weeks, so gently does it...warm up, run for 10, walk for 3, run for 12, so not where I should be but at least I was moving!! Aiming for Weds then Friday if all goes well. Bit warm now but feel so much better for it and ready for tomorrow...bring it on...thanks you lovely lot for your words of encouragement 😊😊

Well done you :) I missed running today because I couldn't drag myself out of bed, although I'd been awake for most of the night up to that point! So tired and lethargic. I finish work for xmas Wednesday lunchtime, thank God!!

Sound like you are having a really tough and lonnnnng time at work. Not fair just before Xmas. Here's hoping you get your time of - think you'll need it! Plus you can squeeze in a run or two :)

That’s my plan...I have been doing year end in finance for more years than I care to remember...the brain shuts out how exhausting the run up to xmas is, Friday will be here before we know it, it’ll be fine can then relax...and hopefully run 😊😊

Isn't it daft to think that we are looking forward to being able to run in our time off?! Pre c25k I would have laughed heartily in the face of any idiot who'd say such a thing. Now it's one of the things I am most looking forward to - a relaxed, unrushed run that I can enjoy.

Hope you manage it too :)
