W9R2 today, and I really wasn't feeling it. Started late, snarky atmosphere in the house, it was hot, I was probably a bit dehydrated, and I couldn't wear my favourite gear because (a) it was too hot because I started late, and (b) I had to take keys, so needed a pocket. So I was grumpy too. Sarah nearly started me snivelling right at the start - I wish the week 9 doc-dahs were individual, not just repeated, it's be nice to have a proper Well Done at the end - and by the time I'd finished the 30 minutes, I felt sick and just wanted to get back into bed, couldn't even be bothered too watch out for goat pooh.
And there's going to be nobody cheering for me at the end of my next run, cos they all treat it like a joke.

Sounds like a pretty gruesome set of circumstances but you did it! That gets extra points. We all love you and will be cheering and super proud come your graduation run 😁
Who treats it like a joke??... Let me at 'em, I'll sort them out for you!😡😡😡👊👊👊
Seriously, you have done amazingly well and are so close to graduating that don't you dare let anyone steal your thunder!!!..... Straight after your graduation shower, you get straight on here and we'll celebrate with you (it's our favourite pastime!)
Best of luck for the next run...and congratulations 🏃🏃🏃
And after all that you still did it go you! And I bet there will be loads of people on here cheering for you at the end of your next run 😊😊🎉🎉
Excuse me? We are here to cheer you! We all have grumpy days and bad runs (I was too hot and too tired to do much today too). Yu dug deep and did it. The next run might be fun
How about explaining to yours what you need/want from them, and tell them (calmly) how their attitude impacts on you- I am sure they think they are just joshing (or maybe are feeling envious?)
I’ve tried - and have given up. I have you like minded and incredibly supportive lot on here, and that means a huge amount. I think - no, I KNOW I need to return to the UK, for my sanity and a better class of running. I need green fields and my friends!x
Well done furlmouse, you did it in spite of everything! The next run will be SO much easier! I'll be cheering for you! 😁🏃👍
Aw, chin up. What a horrible day. Tomorrow will be better. Hopefully I can improve it by recommending a flip belt. It is elasticated with slots to pop your phone/ bank card in and a clip for keys. It's amazing. Made such a difference to my runs, no phone banging off my knees if I take my jacket off and leaves my hands free. Love it! You've done so well and deserve a treat now you're a bona fide runner. X

Just realised I sound like a salesman! Promise I don't have shares or get commission. Lol.
Oh, I'm so sorry that you are having a bad time, I wish I could just teleport myself to you and cheer you on! Are there no running clubs or running gatherings where you live that you can perhaps go to and find like minded people? It's really sad that your friends and/or loved ones are not supporting you in your endeavors. That's really crappy of them!
The good thing is that you have everyone on this forum, at least, and that you powered through your run and finished it, despite everything. I feel like it's an even bigger accomplishment to complete a run on days where everything feels "blah".
I wish you all the best and will keep my fingers crossed that you will feel better really soon.
