Morning runners :)

Today, I managed to wake up too late (again). But! This time I had my tech nice and ready, all prepared, ready, steady, go! This time the run with Laura. No my up-beat music. No robot telling me which run I am at... BTW. Do you know the song for the last run? The song with lyrics: 'I'm stronger than that, I always come back, when the world is upside down (...) See you later all you haters if you think I can't...'.

First 90 second run - OK, today may be better :) Second run - oh crap, it's hard. Shortly after I saw long-time-no-see-friend cycling all fresh and happy to work O_O we stopped for a quick catch-up chat. Very nice encounter. My pace and rhythm already in bin. OK, here I go... Where did I finish? Which minute? I am in a wrong place... Nevermind, I will just do something which was probably doing half of second run again. 3rd run - oh my running god's, my bowels! I may need to run closer to home, or maybe not... What's happening to me today? 4th run - how many runs do I have to do? How many runs do I have left? Xth run -barely moving my feet. Last run - thanks God! I survived! OMG! It's so late. Cool down walk - 2 min. Stretches - 6-7 Mon instead of normal 15-20. Jump under shower!

I forgot to prepare lunch for work the day before. OMG! Crazy day! Now... I have 3 minutes after breakfast to breathe and go out.

Have a great day! Happy running! And never give up!

Well done IgaT! 'I'm stronger than that, I always come back, when the world is upside down (...) See you later all you haters if you think I can't...'. Need to look up that song! Perfect! 😁❤️

I really liked that song and wanted to share with a friend who recently struggle a lot and has very difficult year. If you find it, please let me know.

Tried to find from the lyrics but that didn’t work! Maybe someone else knows the song. Maybe it’s on your playlist? ❤️

Let's keep the fingers crossed. It's just the beginning and I have quite long to-do list for today. I just need 5 minutes to wrap my head around it ;)

Phew IgaT ..I feel like I’ve had a workout reading your post!!! What a manic start to the day...but....you still did it...trying to time everything to fit in your runs shows real dedication, you could’ve thought ‘oh no I haven’t got time’ but you didn’t, you still went...massive high five to you.....and breathe..... xx
