A small (unwanted) break and midges in the eyes

[naaatsh92]

Week 3 Run 2 today. I couldn’t get out Thursday, Friday or Saturday as I was moving house and didn’t have any time. Unfortunately that meant the gremlins were trying to discourage me today. They seem to get louder the more days off you have!

I persevered however, and went for a run around the park near my new house. It’s a lovely park and I was thoroughly enjoying my run until I was attacked by midges! I think 3 burrowed themselves right into my eye, so I spent the second half of my run blinking faster than my legs were moving to get them outta there!

3 minute runs, no problem! I bet I won’t be so confident when I’m doing 5 minute runs though!

You’ll be ready for fives... great job against some gremlins.

Thank you 😃, I’ll be fighting them during the fives I’m sure!

They keep trying to tell or show you that you can’t... you know you can... the gremlins lie!

Those gremlins are little so and so's 👿🔨🔨🔨😊

They are! Sooo sneaky! We know their game though, if we fight they can never win!

Yuk, midges. Yuk, gremlins! I’m better at dealing with gremlins now than I am at pesky midges. I am a veritable midge magnet!

You have control of your gremlins now, so use the same method again next time out and you’ll smash your run! 5 minutes won’t be a problem for you if you embrace your inner snail and take it lovely and slowly. Wait and see, you’ll surprise yourself! 😀😀😀

Thank you! Somehow I managed the 5 mins today, twice! And enjoyed it! Gremlins were made to be squashed with running trainers!
