W9R1 - Sluggish with a twist

W9R1 and it goes to show that not everything is as it first seems

to be

Felt lethargic, sluggish, and soon after setting off on the run phase I had the feeling that it was one of those "just finish the session" days

as it all felt 'off'.

However, ran further than ever before, set a new fastest average pace, and equalled my fastest single Km time.

So, no matter how you may feel, have faith, keep going, and you may actually be better off than you think :)

Thanks - it was one of those days when it just didn’t feel good but proved that if you don’t quit the results will be there - hoping the last two runs to graduation will feel easier though lol 😊
