So hard

[SeeJillRun]

Consolidation 3 was a tough one! I had a feeling it would be, been really thirsty today n a bit sniffly n sneezy so maybe I’m starting with a cold

After about 15 minutes I had to start telling myself I wasn’t giving up n no it wasn’t hard, it was really easy n I was having a great time. Slowed down n slowed down even more n managed to get through it but was definitely glad when the 30 minutes was up 🥵

Hoping the next run is better for you...I did smile at telling yourself “it’s easy & your having a great time” don’t think I have ever felt that 😂 my choice of words have been unprintable. Hope you don’t get a cold and the next run will be a good one 🏃🏻‍♀️

Thanks, I was working on the principle that a positive mindset helps 😂😂

Some you win, some you just get through. Well done for persevering!

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Pianism]

Thanks, that’s very true

[Granspeed Graduate]

A Hope that sniffle doesn’t come to anything! 😨

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

Thanks, me too! Managed to go all winter without a cold. I don’t mind a bit of a sniffle as long as it doesn’t get worse than that 🤧

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Fingers crossed for you.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Great job getting to the end of the run... mental strength tested and passed! Hope the sniffle doesn’t worsen.

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thanks, me too. Mental strength, never thought that’d be me 😂😂

[Couchpotato2 Graduate]

Well done for persevering and enjoy the rest!

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

Thanks, I will. I’m about ready for bed 😂

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Me too! Just had a bath and need to sort out food then zzzz

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

I wouldn’t mind but that’s so not like me. I think the 3 hours sleep on Saturday night has caught up with me 😴

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

I had 5 but for me that’s not much, I love my sleep

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

So do I but had to be up at 6. Woke in the early hours n my brain said ‘Nope! No more sleep for you!’ 😩

[Franglaise Graduate]

Well done....unfortunately my gremlins beat me down and won today at the start of week 8....mental strength failed for me....so you are doing brilliant.

[Rosiepug Graduate in reply to Franglaise]

Hey Franglaise, You can beat those gremlins. You’ve come so far, remember what wk1 was like. Have a good rest day and get back out there. You can do this ... it’s for you.

[Franglaise Graduate in reply to Rosiepug]

I'm going back out tomorrow...hydrating well today. Thank you for the vote of confidence.

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Franglaise]

I’m with Rosiepug, you can so do this! I find listening to something that distracts me from thinking about how hard it is really helps, like a podcast or audiobook. If you’re busy listening then your brain is too occupied to think about how hard the run feels. Best of luck for next time!

[Franglaise Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

I don't listen to anything...washed my phone! Usually run and chat, but just feel totally unable to do that....hopefully just a blip or not recovered from my bug as much as I think I have...thank you for the support.

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Franglaise]

Yikes! Hope you get a new phone sorted soon. Hope your next run is a great one! 🤞

[Franglaise Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Thank you....trying again in the morning...birthday run.

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Franglaise]

Ooh happy birthday for tomorrow! 🎂

[Rosiepug Graduate]

I hope you’re feeling better soon, SeeJillRun. 😊

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Rosiepug]

Thanks! No sniffles yet this morning so fingers crossed I’m ok 😊

[SmashedPotato Graduate]
