Nasty. I was in two minds whether to add an extra rest day, as my husband and I walked almost 4 hours up a mountain yesterday, bottom to top! My legs felt it later.
However, weโre leaving here tomorrow morning really early, and I didnโt want the run to be a) in the dark or b) too rushed, so I stuck with today.
I had an entire family of gremlins attacking me from every angle for the first 7 minutes, but whereas in the past theyโd have won, today they did not. I got โem good and proper and completed my 28 minutes. It was dead slow, but I did it. No wayyyy was I going to walk!
So back to the UK for R3. The gremlins will not be accompanying me! ๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ป
Great stuff cheekychipmunks I know there are great physical benefits to the programme but gremlin slaying is right up there along with those, I am sure many of us recognise the difference in mental attitude between the earlier and later weeks of the programme. All credit to you for pushing through those difficult first minutes and completing your run.
Oh yes mental attitude is huge, and this programme instills this in us all! I know I wouldnโt have kept going without the app - and I didnโt want to disappoint MJ! He said โyou must be feeling good nowโ, and I told him I wasnโt but Iโd keep going. I didnโt want to break my promise!
Great post! I love a good gremlin-kicking post (although I'm not a violent person ๐คฃ) Well done you, for sticking with it, believing in yourself and proving yourself right! ๐๐๐
Well done gremlin- slayer ๐ especially after a days mountaineering- very impressive. Enjoy a couple of rest days now and safe journey home ๐ ๐๐
Yah๐๐. Great job. Iโm thinking of just trying to run later on today after work because itโs driving me crazy not working out ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ. Just hope my twisted ankle holds up.
Thanks Crawlhome, weโve had a wonderful time, albeit really hot! Itโll be interesting to see how my home route feels after a coupl of weeks away. Iโm hoping the gremlins will remain here in Germany! ๐
