Hello Week 4 Run 1....

5 Replies

Hi everyone...

So jumped out of bed this morning and headed over to my usual spot.

Done this run last year and so I know it's more than possible but you know how it is.. if you let the little negative thoughts in, they will take over.

So I kindly booted those thoughts over the hedge and off I go. 1st 3 minutes seemed like forever but after that I got myself in to a nice pace, small steps, no bouncing, breathing regular and I could've continue jogging when Micheal said to stop after the 1st 5 minutes. 2nd half went well too.

If nothing else, I know that I'm reaching the part of the programme where it's very much a mental battle now.

Lots of self talk, "keep going, you can do it, get lost Michael, not doing this run again, get lost Micheal, I'm dying but I will die running" and the list of other things that come out of my mouth to keep myself going continues. 😂 I'm sure everyone can relate.

Anyway all done for today and on to run 2 maybe on Sunday as back to nightshifts now.

Enjoy your weekend everyone.x
