W4R3 due today šŸ˜¦

So I have had three rest days as was away at the weekend, I have to get out today and conquer this last run of week 4. Dreading it! The thought I cling to is the improvement in my mood after the run. For the rest of the day I feel noticeably happier and more positive, be it endorphins or pride, thatā€™s what I remind myself of when I donā€™t want to go out! I donā€™t hate being out doing it but it is hard, and I canā€™t wait to finish. I hope that soon Iā€™ll love the run itself.

Lots of encouragement to anyone who might read this!!

Hardest part is getting out the door.

There's definitely a W4 spook going on at the moment. Hit me first thing today too. We'll get there tho. And look back on this one day and howl with laughter. Hugz and crossed fingers for you all the way!!

Update: I did it! And sure enough Iā€™m pleased with myself.

Getting the impression that Iā€™m physically capable of this programā€™s objective, but fighting to overcome the mental side of it!

As always your posts and replies of encouragement are ace. Good luck to all.

Well done you. I know exactly what you mean about the mental side of it! I do mostly enjoy it when I am out there, it's just getting out there. šŸ˜Š
