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, we’re leaving here tomorrow morning really early, and I didn’t 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 they’d have won, today they did not. I got ‘em 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! 💪🏻💪🏻
Happy running guys! 🐌🏃♀️🐌🏃♀️🐌🏃♀️🐌😀
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 wouldn’t have kept going without the app - and I didn’t want to disappoint MJ! He said ‘you must be feeling good now’, and I told him I wasn’t but I’d keep going. I didn’t want to break my promise!
This forum helps to, that’s for sure! ❤️
