W2R1 Done

I very nearly talked myself out of my run today because it’s so cold! My daughter didn’t want to come out so I went on my own. I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t try and keep up with her but I found it easier today and such a good feeling when I got back having done it.

I also joined the gym today so no excuse when it’s raining or freezing or dark.

I’m feeling really motivated, I might even go for a brisk walk on my recovery day tomorrow with my extra hour!!

Great job, and good idea for tomorrow. Going at your own pace is best, let your daughter run ahead of you if she comes next time and she can always turn and come back on the next run.

I actually prefer running on my own at my own pace

I also feel a bit smug while I’m running and my family stay in bed 😉
