W4R1 Mind over Matter!

A run of several parts. Bits were fine, even exhilarating but had serious jelly legs 2.5 mins into the last 5 minute run. Thought I wouldn’t make it but remembered Jo’s positive thought tips so started to notice how blue the sky was and the trees a gorgeous red bark in contrast and before I knew it I was literally running along arms outstretched, pretending to be an aeroplane like a 5 year old!

I do the aeroplane thing all the time! Lol I thought I was the only one. It's the great tunes my playlist serves up that do it for me but in both cases I think distraction is the key. :)

Ha love it that I’m not the only child in an adults body! The music does help but so do the endorphins that kick in. The thing I didn’t realise as I ran down the last straight is that you can clearly see the lane from the plate glass windows in my office and everyone probably saw me! 😂
