Ugh. Gonna stick that run in a rucksack and forget about it! Was looking forward to going out but my head just wasn't in it - quite a lot on my mind and also been reading about diaphragmatic breathing so trying to focus on that and it threw me right out! I can do it fine when I'm not running (like with yoga/meditation) but my brain was having an argument with my belly and Waaaaaaah!! So headphones off and home did trot (well drove!) Back out tomorrow all going well ๐Ÿ™Œ

Oh dear, we all have runs like that! I remember going for a postgrad run and coming back after about 10 minutes, because I was just in too much of a bad mood and I just couldn't be bothered!! Running usually lifts my mood, but it didn't on this occasion, so I came back early. A run is still a run after all.

Your next one will be fine I'm sure. You've already proved you can do this :)

All the best, Neil x

Thanks Neil ๐Ÿ˜Š I feel like I'm not just running for running right now ๐Ÿค” I'm flitting around trying to decide on what to change - whether I should focus on improving my breathing technique, time or distance.... turns out I'm not changing anything! I'm just faffing! All because I want to be able to crack a 5k! I've done it once, and my head is telling me that by now I should be nearer to doing it again ๐Ÿ˜ But I'm not.... I'm actually just putting unnecessary pressure on myself. Thanks for your support x

Some days it is just not happening. However you are that woman who now feels confident enough to step out the door and go for it. So as Scarlet O'hara in gone with the wind says tomorrow is another day. You have shorts and Vaseline go go go girl.
