Wk9 r2 huge fail 😞

[Mrstaylor81]

A morning of mistakes and lessons learned. First mistake was the ‘couple’ of gins last night, 2nd was sleeping in and not setting off till after 9 (the sun is out and it’s far too hot) the 3rd was not drinking enough water yesterday (only managed a litre before the gin😬) The end result was 20 mins of running before feeling faint and having to phone the hubby as I started to panic about passing out and not being found for hours🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️Luckily the hubs is quite calming and talked to me as I slowly crawled home! I’m now feeling very foolish and upset with myself for being so silly. I’ll be back out Wednesday to do my 2 miles I pledged to global running day, it just won’t be my graduation run as I’d planned.

So are you week 8, or 9, if you were planning on graduation on Wednesday?

You didn't fail, you still ran, just not as far as you intended 😊

Yes, 1 litre of water isn't enough to feel good when you are running, and it took me a very long time to really appreciate that.

Take your rest day and then repeat this run.

This time you will do it 😊👍

Sorry, it is week 9! Thanks for pointing that out. I’m usually very good with my water intake, I must try harder on a Saturday.

I’m trying to console myself with the fact I managed 20 mins, but still kicking myself for being so silly!

These things happen, enjoy running on Wednesday and plan a lovely route for it. We all need to be drinking more water now that the temperatures are rising, that's something I need to remember! Anyway, don't be disheartened, onwards and upwards!

Where is the failure in any run that teaches you something?
