Week 7 run 3 😔

[Kerrylh]

Up and out this morning feeling great first maybe 10 minutes no problems then those bloomin gremlins started to kick it .I argued like mad with them and then just after the halfway mark stitch and started to feel sick took big deep breaths and tried to carry but it just didn't work so slowed down and walked for maybe a minute if that . Decided to get to park gate and see how I felt before deciding go home or carry on ..yep I carried on and felt so much better .

So next time I run

1 make sure I eat properly day before

2 plenty of fluids which I normally do have

3 try eating a banana or something at least before I go out

And 4 grow a pair and fight those bloomin gremlins harder 😁

You finished Kerrylh as l did this morning (well kind of for me 🐌🤣) Like you l told those gremlins to naff off. Stubborn little sods aren’t they. Congrats for finishing despite your obstacles 👍🏻

Gremlins 👹👿👺, A.K.A. doubts, demons, worries.

"We will fight (them) on the beaches, on the treadmills, in the park runs, on the the pavements and in the hills. We will never surrender". 🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♀️🏃

(Apologies to Mr Churchill for taking liberties with his most famous speech 🤚)

Well done for not losing the will to go on. Next time will be better 👍👍👍

(Tech note, the word "them" isn't in the original speech but is in common usage. Sorry for being nerdy about it. 🤦‍♂️ )

I had a similar experience last night, also on wk7r3. I had my new,first worn running shoes on and was ready to complete wk7. But I really struggled, slowed right down and finished but didn't enjoy it one bit 😓

Runs like that are awful but the good runs far out weigh the bad ones and the feeling at the end is brilliant ..onwards and upwards 😁
