I haven't been running since my great short Thursday run It's nearly a week. I could tell you many excuses, some of them even quite valid. But they are all excuses.
The couch got me. I have (temporary) lack of inner power to kick myself out the door. I am wearing multilayers (with thermals and sometimes even jacket) at work I tend to sit next to th heater or under duvet at home. I am cold, and idea to dress in thin layers and go voluntarily to the cold is not appealing. Being on the edge of illness and short before holidays don't help either.
I know, just dress, go out even for 10 minutes, and see what happens... But somehow I cannot push myself to do it.
I start to feel guilty of couching so soon after graduation. It feels like I am a little fraud. I am not sure why am I writing. I know you all be very supportive and encouraging. But I have a feeling that at the moment it won't be enough to kick me out of that door.

I did it! Thank you all!
That couch is so much more comfortable when you’ve just had a run you know. Warm up in the house and go run 5 minutes... there’s even a guided run on my app for a five minute run that isn’t aimed at new runners.
You know you’ll love it when you do... you know you miss that post run feeling. It’s dark and cold, so it’s also pretty quiet out... there’s less people to see you, less walkers to weave around, less extending dog leads to not see!
Of course if you don’t run soon we will have to see about having your heating breakdown 😂
No, I don't agree on breaking my heating! How the heck I will warm up after post-run stretch if not under hot shower?
I dunno... you need to run first 😜
