Had myself up for it all day. Planned route etc, all up for doing a PB and it just wouldn't happen. It was like I was dragging myself round. Sunday will be the day 🙄

Sub 29... disappointed... ok, I get it. You’re very competitive with yourself... I do respect that... but dude, that’s a mighty fine time for a run that sucked, it’s a mighty fine time for someone who hasn’t been running 12 months... if I ever get a run that sucks and I get that time, I’d be damn proud! Suck it up! Lower your bar a little. Run one deliberately slow and just love the fact that you can.

You’re not perfect, running isn’t perfect, there’s no perfect run. Look at you before C25K, look at you running that today... you still disappointed?

It's a brilliant run! You can't get a PB every time!

I had a run like this the other day, my legs were like lead but we live to run another day, onwards and upwards.

I’d kill for that time! Well done. May not be your best but it’s still amazing. Remember when you started . . . . . . . ?
