Good days and bad days

There are often posts on here by runners saying how tough they found it on a particular day. I wanted to use this to illustrate how there are bad days, but if you give up, you miss the good days.

As a specific example, this week I found W7R1 really tough. I struggled to stay motivated, but I pushed through and completed it. When I went for R2 last night, I was so not looking forward to it (identical run to R1). But, you know what? It was so good, I tacked an extra 5 minutes on and felt I could have gone longer.

Live for the good days and don't let the bad days put you off!

Absolutely spot on!! We're human. We have off days. But even the off days teach us things. But the good days more than compensate!! :-)
