Well this was a tough one from the first 3 min run my legs decided they didn’t want to run today 🙈😩😂 managed to get through without stopping but the last 5 min run I really wanted to give up but my hubby managed to persuade me to keep going. Found this run really tough, not looking forward to the next one, need a couple of days to recover my legs! 🙈😂

That's fantastic, and should b e celebrated. You managed to keep going despite those legs wanting to distract you, and 10 out of 10 to Mr Jenlewuk for giving you the encouragement you needed. We all have runs which for no apparent reason seem particularly hard, but you persevered, and the next run may well be much more straightforward. Please don't be put off or anxious. You can do this.

Not what you're looking for?
