Banging my head off the proverbial . . .

[ButtercupKid]

I don’t know where my confidence went ! This week I’ve managed a 10-minute and a 15-minute. Today I felt like hiding under the duvet, but I forced myself out for a walk and put in three 1-minute jogs because I felt like it. I hate the Panic Moth !

In better news, it’s a beautiful day here: the picture shows the BlueBirdRunner Bridge, at the opposite end of the park from Shelley’s Point. Happy running, everyone who’s out today x

Another lovely photo from you ButtercupKid, you enjoyed your run/walk today despite that Panic Moth hovering around, try and swat it some time.

Tomorrow morning I intend to walk and perhaps run a little as well all the way round the 5K ButtercupKid Trail named after you. As you taught me how to take photos I will see if I can take more photos of parts of it which so far I have not taken. Enjoy the rest of the day 😊.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Looking forward to seeing more of the trail, AlMorr. Have a good time tomorrow x

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Update BCK, on Sunday morning I took 4 photos of other parts of the ButtercupKid 5K trail, unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control I could only post one of them, when I tried to upload and post the other three photos a message came up in red saying "Oops, sorry cannot upload" 😪 I'll try another time some time, I do walks and runs on that route many times. 😊

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Trial and error, AlMorr - I’ve had trouble too sometimes. Keep trying !

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

I certainly will BCK. as you have already seen 4 photos, the ones that would not 'send' to C25K do look lovely on the phone, I'll go another walk on that route soon and take more photos and post them on. 😊 🏃

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Lovely ! That’ll be great x

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

That should be 👍

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I knew what you meant 😄

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]

Ah, well done for getting out today Buttercupkid, and you felt like a few jogs and did them!

Your confidence will return, just doing what you are able to do * IS Good Enough * though😊..you are a Graduate and have earned your badge (stripes)

Remember that there is no pressure on you to run for any specific time, All exercise run/walk is doing you good....and hopefully does leave you feeling better.😊

Do keep posting so we can remind you how well you are doing!

The sun is shining on that BlueBirdRunner bridge inviting you over....thank you for including me on your run route, it means a lot. I will whisper to you' Well done' every time you run over it...😘

I hope March is an easier month for you. 😊xxxx

Thanks BBR. Glad to have got out. Nothing for it but to keep trying !

[micey2 Graduate]

You keep us going with your posts and photographs, and you’re entitled to be kind to yourself, you’ve gone out and defeated that moth so good for you. Don’t forget how much you’ve achieved and how much you inspire us.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to micey2]

Thanks micey. Disappointed but I know I can’t help it just now. Determined to keep getting out until things pick up !

[SaskAlliecat Graduate]

You got out this week and ran some runs and that is what matters. There is no rule saying every run you do now has to be a certain length. You even did a few little short spurts on your walk today because you felt like it. That is great! Keep doing what you are doing and that Panic Moth will eventually get tired and flutter away. You are doing great!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Thanks SAcat. Not sure why I’m all of a dither, but hoping if I keep pushing I’ll find myself again out there somewhere 😄

[SeeJillRun Graduate]

You’re doing a fantastic job doing what you’re doing, at least you’re getting out and doing something, even if it’s not as much as you’d like. Just keep doing what you can n more will come soon, I just know it x

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Thanks Jill. Out again on Monday 😀

[Wimborne]

Hey BCK. You just keep going as you are doing. You are out there running 👍👍😀.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Wimborne]

Blink and you’ll miss me ! But it’s still better than the couch 😄

[Kertesz]

So sorry that the darned PM is back... but I love that you did 3 x 1 minutes jogs ‘because you wanted to’! I think we could all benefit from a bit of spontaneous ‘doing something because we want to’!! X beautiful photo... enjoy the sun x

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Kertesz]

Thanks Kertesz. Don’t think I’ve ever run because I wanted to before - things are looking up 😄

[Kertesz in reply to ButtercupKid]

Positive reframe and all that... 😉 x

[Poppins93 Graduate]

Lovely picture! Keep at it, every little bit counts

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Poppins93]

Thanks Poppins ! Hope it’s going well for you x
