Failure

[Justinerose]

Headed out on a beautiful sunny morning (although cold) for my week 5 1st run. Instructor said it might be tough , couldn't get my music to play, and had a bit too mich wine the previous evening. Needless to say I collapsed on the bench after 3 minutes of running. Feeling pretty low now. Justinerose

Don’t despair ! You weren’t in best fettle today, but today is over. Well done for trying even when you didn’t feel up to it ⭐️ Have another go another day. Enjoy your journey x

You still ran, so not a fail merely a practice run!! Not all runs are equal so don’t worry 😉 You’ll be fine next run👍🏻

Don’t give up. It’s happened to all of us.

That’s still 3 minutes in the bank. Be positive. Give yourself a little break and start again. Doesn’t matter at all. This program does work!!!

Don’t worry Justinerose. Everyone has a bad run now and then. Drinking the night before does have its price. 🙂 I’ve paid for it a few times too. The next run should feel much better. Keep going. You’ve got this.

Ah yes, I remember well those nights on the ran-tan. The days of lager frenzies and nicked cemetery Roses. Those mornings when you not only have no clue where you are, but who you are. The nutter ladies who strangely accost you in the street screaming something about 'waiting in Al night and you never picked me up for the Embassy party!". The horrible feeling that either you are in the wrong Embassy or if not everyone is practicing their Russian...

Only running I ever did before C25K was up to 26 years ago before I quit the booze was running to pray to the porcelain god some mornings. 😬
