W13R1 - short one with medium speed

[IgaT]

My plan was totally different. My route was supposed to be difficult, my speed was to be slow. But life through different curve balls. So other dogs (where so many of them;came form???), my hyperactive dog, other people, darkness, all of it made adjustments to my plan. I ended up with 16 minutes run o moderate speed, in the beginning too fast, but it was compromise, as my dog wanted at least triple speed of what we have done. I coveres nearly the same milage than during last 20 min (2.4km vs 2.7km).

My stomach was off probably due to too ate too big snack (salad) and too much coffee (couldn't sleep at night).

Happy to go out. Although my dog was probably way happier than me

lusmo , next run together on Wednesday? I may go alone and try to do a proper longer run this time.

😂. Planning is one thing, but just going with the flow is great! Nice running.

[IgaT Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you Whenever I'm with her, I always need to go with her flow otherwise it is just huge tug of war

[Wolvesmad Graduate]

All that matters is you're out and not caring about anything else whilst you're running

I drink far too much coffee also 🍵🍵

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Wolvesmad]

Normally, I'm good with 1 coffee a day. Today, I had 3 and felt it's not enough :/

I want not to care about anything, hence planned Wednesday lonely run

[lusmo Graduate]

Great! Big congratulations! Slow is good! 👍

YES! Definitly! Absolutely! I'm ready for Wednesday! I look forward to! We win! 👍

PS: It's enough for me to meet one single dog and it completely eliminates me. 😬

So big congratulations again for great run! 👍

It wasn't slow my dog was speeding and I was kind of speeding behind her (well, my way of speeding, app said 7min/km = 8.5km/h as average).

I lost count of how many dogs we encountered, and when my 🐕 sees small dogs and she is on the lead she acts a bit crazy / aggressive. So she manages to partially destroy new hand-free bungee lead I got, after ahe anihilate the previous one when she saw a cat quite close to us.

I love to run with he when she is off lead as she behaves so so sooo mich better, but our canal route is dark with no lights and I didn't find any other safe off lead route.

I am sorry,I read badly... (another aha moment for me today).

Do you have a headlamp?

The morning is light, but it's cold.

I do not know what is better.

[IgaT Graduate in reply to lusmo]

My morning is dark as well I do have a headlamp and I will use it (for the first time) during my solo Wednesday run. I am not sure if I can manage with all of it with my dog.

PS. Don't worry about reading correctly. I am so happy that you (or anyone, in fact) are reading it at all

[IgaT Graduate in reply to lusmo]

You made me excited for a moment for my Wednesday run Maybe I will do some fun run (30-20-10 or random fartlek)

[lusmo Graduate in reply to IgaT]

Great, I'm also looking forward.

I feel much more motivated now

But I have to have discipline so I can run on Friday too.

Slowly and persistently .. you know it

Hills are treacherous 🤨

[IgaT Graduate in reply to lusmo]

I think I need to go back to my discipline of Mon-Wed-Fri, as otherwise it is too easy to slip and stay on the couch.

After holidays, I also want to have a solid plan and goal to keep me motivated. But it will be only around Xmas.

[lusmo Graduate in reply to IgaT]

I know it very well, so I'm not trying to stop running.

I want to stop at every run! I know I can not. Beginning again would be so difficult. Even impossible.

Winter, cold, snow, rain ... these are all enemies waiting for me to stop running. I do not know how long I can keep it, so I'm trying ..

[IgaT Graduate in reply to lusmo]

We can keep it. We will power through winter, snow, wind, rain... As long as it is safe, we will keep going. Even if we will be made to stop, it will be only a short pause, and then we will lift each other, and go back to the track. Like you lifted me when I had a bad week, or rather two, and I was starting to get too comfortable on my sofa.

I know from the experience, that the second time around it is easier - just in case you would have some illness accident.

But for now, we will keep going Monday, Wednesday, Friday... I will do my run before the flight on next Wednesday, and on Friday after another flight (11-hour flight during whole Thursday + several hours in car + airport waiting). At least, I hope I will go and run

We can and we WILL do it! We ARE DOING it!

[lusmo Graduate in reply to IgaT]

Deal! Agree! 👍👍👍

[lusmo Graduate in reply to IgaT]

PS: Happy flying!

[IgaT Graduate in reply to lusmo]

Thank you

Two more run before my travels
