This just mystifies me.....Must be all down to the ear worm 🐛

Why is it, on my most exhausted day I have my best ever run?!

I've been a morning runner so far, but this morning I just couldn't. Too exhausted from a flat-out few days, loving my pjs and morning coffee too, too much, cuddled up on the sofa with the dog and the papers...... I just couldn't face W6R3.

The day progressed, and I developed an evil ear-worm.....🐛

🐛"You should be going for a run..."

🐛"It's lovely outside. You should really be going for a run....."

🐛"You do realise that if you don't run today then the run-schedule for this week goes completely out the window...."

🐛"You will be so annoyed with yourself if you don't do this..."

🐛"Oh for goodness sake, would you just do it!!!!"

I did it. I'm so glad I did it. My best run yet. I still don't know where it came from.

I love the ear worm 🐛🥰

It kicked me into action and now I'm not feeling nervous about Week 7!

Bring it on....

Well done👍 always just do it, don’t even consider not going 😁. The hardest runs are behind you now so you can look forward with confidence

Slow and steady. No need to push things 👍😃🏃‍♀️

Thank you. I love the slow jogging technique that DiscoRunner shared with me in week one. I shall keep slow and steady. This was a big boost to my confidence today when I was in need of it as I was a little apprehensive about leaving the intervals behind.

I love slow jogs. Slow jogs can take you for many miles, as you’ll discover if you keep running post C25k 😃🏃‍♀️

Well done that's amazingly! X

It came out of nowhere when I needed it most. Now I'm not worrying about what lies ahead. Your turn tomorrow I think? 😊

Well done. You are now a day ahead of me rather than a day behind! I’m doing W6R3 tomorrow. A little nervous but also looking forward to it. A kilometre in 6.41 is fabulous. x

On a high when I finished. Enjoy tomorrow 😊

[Fabat50 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

A well deserved high!

Well done ! Your post made me laugh as I have had exact same days 😂

[Hidden in reply to RunRunRun13]

Glad it raised a smile. I think my little ear-worm 🐛 is my new friend. Obviously brings out the best in me!!

Well done you... I did read this and intended coming back to it!

Slow and steady works, it really does and gets us to the most amazing places...you just find what I call your happy pace....

You know what that is as the runs get longer... and then, you feel as if you can run for ever.

As you move on the longer runs are perfect for this.. the newly forming running legs know what to do... so start slow and stay slow. Land lightly, I call it, kissing the ground with your feet...and know you will do the run.

Each and every run makes you stronger... You are doing wonderfully!

Nothing to stop you now. The buzz from completing 25 mins in one go is incredible. Well Done

Thank you! It was such a strange run, as I really had been fighting the ear-worm 🐛 all day. The first 10 minutes of the run were hard going, but then I suddenly seemed to loosen up and relax into it - I've not had that experience before. The realisation that I was actually enjoying the run, not just getting to the end of the run, was a new one too. 😊
