Week 1 Run 2 - Done!

[LadyP79]

When I woke up yesterday morning it was pouring with rain. Knowing that I was planned to do my second run I stared forlornly out of the window with my heart sinking a bit.

It's cold, it's wet, I'm tired, I've had a busy day at work, I'm hungry, I've got things to do this evening, I'm a little bit achy and to be honest, I don't want to go out for my second run. All the things that ran through my head yesterday.

I got home and sat on the couch and thought about all the things I had to do. Then I realised that I had been sat down for 15 minutes and I would have been half way through my run had I just gone straight out as soon as I got home from work.

That spurred something in me. I got changed, put my music on and walked out of the door.

The sense of achievement I felt after completing run 2 was great. I'd done it. I'd gone out even though I had convinced myself of enough reasons not to. I don't think this is going to be the last time the little voice tells me that I can't do it for one reason or another but I just have to ignore that voice and go with the one that tells me I can.

Happy face ticked at the end of the run

Yay well done! I had that more at start of program and now on week 5 I can’t get out of house quick enough. I think my family are wondering if a new mum has arrived 🤣. Keep it up, honestly it is worth it !

It’s hard to fight those gremlins sometimes, so well done for that!

Well done you!

I discovered that I really like running in the rain as long as my torso is reasonably dry, so I use my ancient, light breathable cycling jacket - that does the trick!😀

I don't mind proper rain. I hate the drizzly stuff that we're having at the moment though. Either rain or don't ha ha ha!!

Wow, well done for still going out after having convinced yourself not to! I will keep your story in mind, as the day will definitely come, when my head tries to talk me out of it as well! You can be so proud of yourself!

Sadly, the person you're replying to hasn't been active here for nearly four years. This is an old post.

Oops, I didn't see that 😅 well, I still hope I'll be able to beat my sometimes very unmotivated mind...😆
