W4R2: Super Sweat!

I didn't want to run this morning. I woke up later than planned after a relatively late night with friends. The sky was clear in South Korea, and the sun felt a little too hot. I logged on to this forum to look for some inspiration and motivation. I saw the last two comments on my previous post and dragged myself out of bed. You have to contend with a lot of stares when you stand out like a sore thumb - it's a little worse when you're twice the weight and ten times as sweaty as the people staring. However, on this occasion, I just beamed back. Proud of the going when I didn't want to, proud of the sweat and proud of finishing the run. Thank you for the motivation. I hope you've all had a lovely weekend!

Well done you ! You look radiaent. I have noticed I am less red and sweaty at the end of a run now, than i was at the beginning of the programme ( not that it matters!). You will adapt to the exercise.

Great job... and if you’re gonna stand out, do it in style! Those comments you read inspired you, and the post they were on inspired many. Keep getting out there, stay proud and keep on posting and inspiring others. Enjoy your next one.

Oh wow, what a lovely positive post and a lovely happy proud pic!

It’s even sweeter when you know you really didn’t want to go out, but end up feeling awesome afterwards isn’t it? Well done you! 👏👏👏👏

You look like the cat that got the cream Jazzyjeff11. Well done for getting out there. For all you know the stares may have been of inspiration. It’s surprising how we can inspire others 👍🏻

Yeah 👏 well done!

I used to look like a beetroot (a wet one) but I don’t anymore! You’ll be surprised how quickly the breathing and sweating all sort itself out!

Maybe the stares are people wishing they had the get up and go to have a run like you!
