Week 9 Run 2 - one to go!

The hardest part of any run is really the first step out of the door. Today it was tech issues galore, worrying after last weeks bad run, roasty weather (for Scotland) and someone has hidden my sunscreen 😡

Anyway after my usual procrastination and all of the above, got my backside out of the door and set off on my run.

First 5 minutes were the worst as usual, then spent most of the time wondering if I would ever enjoy running and debating it in my head and before I knew it it was 5 minutes to go and I was on a downhill bit.

I found today really tough and I can’t wait for a time when I actually want to go out for a run rather than going out because I’ve set myself a goal.

This is my 6th attempt at C25K and I will actually finish it this time. Hopefully once the (self inflicted) pressure of finishing the program is over, I will be able to start properly enjoying the run and not just the absolute buzz of completing it.
