wk8 r1 - hard going

Did this run this morning but found it very hard. It felt very long to me and I almost stopped at one point. I run slowly anyway but couldn’t overtake some walkers in the park. It may have been because my running buddy is away or because I have subsequently started a streaming cold. Not looking forward to Wednesday morning 🙁

But you didn’t stop just almost! That means you dug deep and found that extra bit even though you don’t feel 100%. That’s the kind of run that gives you the motivation to keep going, well done for getting through it, now feet up with a lemsip 😊

As RI78 has said you did it. It could be your cold coming out or you have leg fatigue. I have a rest.

Never give up. Some runs can take longer than overs and you might just need to repeat the run. Your doing well. 👍🏻
