I really wasn’t looking forward to my first run without Jo for company and was thinking of reasons not to go...it’s too hot, bad day at work, not enough sleep, a huge slice of chocolate cake eaten this afternoon lying heavily on my stomach (I know, I know!) but my kids were driving me mad so I went out anyway! I can’t lie, it was tough to start with and I was thinking “I’ll stop in a minute, no one needs to know!” ... then at 15 minutes my Runkeeper told me that my pace was on track for a PB. So I carried on ...and it was still tough...but I got that PB. So I guess from now on it’s a case of “mind over matter”. I’m physically fitter but my mind needs to catch up a bit. A lesson learned for future runs!

Well done just proves how much you have improved X
Well Done on going out without a coach in your ear. I'm always amazed at the number of excuses I can come up with not to go out for a run. I never regret when I do 'though. I think you're right - it's mostly psychological now and building up slowly physically.
Not what you're looking for?
