A kick up my own butt ✅

[Flaraflarkin]

My own gremlins (disguised!😎) had already told me that it was so hot out there at 9am that it was too late to run today, blah blah blah! I've been heading this way since that rotten run 2 days ago ~ a slippery slope 😳 Then I thought well Fabulous450 is out there doing her Park Run - so I'm just making excuses about it being too hot! Remembering last night's words from my own behind-the-scenes PT (you know who you are!) I got out there and aimed for a 4K - my manageable (just!) distance ..... I dug in and managed a 4.5k! Yay!

My butt has been a bit sore for two days but it is getting better, I went a 3k WALK this morning just in case it got bad again, hope to be back to the runs next week when hopefully I'll be able to RUN a full 5k.

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Fingers crossed for your runs next week 😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

Well done Flara and a 4.5k, yes!! I love the blah blah blah... made me smile.

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Lorijay]

🤣🤣 such is most of my inner dialogue!

[Lorijay Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

I'm going to borrow "blah blah blah" and try it on the gremlins on my next run. I reckon its so cool!!

You are a super star and my inspiration- well done you! I’m struggling with those gremlins too but they won’t win! I’m heading out tonight 😃🏃‍♀️🏅👏

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Pancakes]

No they flippin well won't! Hope your run is a good one tonight 😊

[Pancakes Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

Eeeek I didn’t go! I went out for tea instead! But I felt very guilty! So today I am going on a 20k(possibly!) bike ride and back to running tomorrow! I know it sounds daft but although I’m loving this beautiful summer it has mucked thing up from a running perspective! I think it’s the lack of sleep bit mainly! I’m so tired I just want to sit in the garden!😄🏃‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️

Of course you managed it coz you’re Flara Croft!! I’m also impressed because gremlin or no gremlin, 9am is tough. I was back by 9am and it was getting warm.
