EPIC FAIL

[Pete1w]

Today was the first run of my new ju ju inspired 10K programme. It was wet, it was windy and I have a snotty bunged up nose. Oh well it's only a quick 3 K. I set off quickly (trying to be clever) and boy did I pay for it. I couldn't breathe, I got to an incline and that was me done. 2 K!!!!!!! How pathetic. Lessons learned? Don't try to be clever, run at a normal pace and certainly don't run when full of cold. Now I feel I have taken a step backwards but will keep going. At least I hauled my sorry self out of bed and whnt running. That is a positive......

Take the positives, learn the lessons and move on.

Every run, good or bad, is training for the next one.

No f words.. you ran,,, your body told you it was a bad idea... and you stopped. Success!

So.. hydrate well... feel better and then head out... this was a practice x

Sounds a bit dramatic 😃

Take a big hankie or two, so you can have a good blow, as needs be 🤧🤧

Running up hills with a head full of gunk is hard but it helps get rid of it quicker I think 😃.

You should be running all the sessions at a normal pace. We did say 🤷‍♀️

Yeah I know, nag, nag 😁

Good on you for getting out 💪👍🙂

You did say didn't you😂😂😂😂 I never listen. My thought was because now I'm such an amazing runner I could run 3 K backwards in my sleep on one leg. Now I know differently. I will pay more attention to you lovely folk in future.

😁😁😁😁. You guys 🙄😁

I hear you re ‘bunged up nose’, just gone down with cold myself. Legs like lead so I’m not running anywhere today. Well done on starting Ju Ju’s Plan though!

[Pete1w Graduate in reply to Maybe58]

I wouldn't recommend it😊. I felt terrible. Feeling better now though. Hope you get well soon.

[Maybe58 Graduate in reply to Pete1w]

And you 🤧😷

We run we learn and live to run again, should always listen to misswobble and Oldfloss 😊

[Dexy5 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Oh and don’t forget IannodaTruffe 😉

[misswobble Graduate]

Yeah we can’t run if we feel like shite. Wait til you feel better and then head out with your giant hankies I have nicked all my husband’s best white hankies. I fold one under my wrist towelling wrist band (another boon when your nose is running) 🙂👍

[Pete1w Graduate]

I have learnt a lesson. Should be running tomorrow but 1 more days rest is in order I think. I couldn't bare the thought of another run like yesterday.

How brave! I don't think i could go out there if i felt like this. I'm sure you realize it is not a fail! The circumstances play an important role in the outcome.

And anyway that's what you should've set out to run: 2k. A nice run to keep you going but not long enough to deteriorate you. So well done! You did the right thing 😂

All except going fast!

Anyway hope you feel great again very soon. There are no backwards steps!

What a difference a rest makes. Went out this morning in the wind and rain (considered going back to bed) and ran a 32 minute 5.6 K. Loved it. Let's see what the next run brings.......
