Hi all! Bit annoyed at myself. Had a bad cough then cold now head cold. Not great. Not run for about a month to 6 weeks now. Feeling rather down about it all. Running seems to help work wonders not just for fitness but mental health. Now I’m struggling to get back in to it and I’d rather have a lay in than get up early and get running again.
Anyone in a similar situation? Or is it just me ?
I’d love some motivation.
Get out there! !!!
So many of us on the IC..or just off the IC, either carrying on from where we were... or starting again... or building back up..
I ran a HM at the end of March...now I am building back up to running three times a week... 1 K at a time...
So...if the ancient snail can...you can...!
When you get out...let the legs take you...go with them...let stresses drift away behind you, as you move slowly forward...remembering why you began this...
And if that doesn't work..we will come and drag you out there..okay😉🙃🏃♂️
Oldfloss. I love your attitude! Positive! Although by the looks of things your are a hell of a lot fitter than me and I’m 30!
I love that mantra. It’s hard to always stay positive but it’s great when you get someone to kick you up the bum. Mentally or physically! 😂
So...do it!! Xxxx
You've not run for quite a few weeks due to being ill. Just go out and try to enjoy running again , in no time your body will remember what to do just give it time. Good luck 😊😊
Thanks Buddy! Appreciate your comment. The positivity on here is great and I feel like 95% of people on here are totally genuine 🙂. I aim to do just that. Get out and enjoy. I’d love a running buddy but I have to go out at 5am when I run! 😮
I really enjoy running on my own and have done since I started
If I lived nearby..I'd run with you..early runs are awesome!!!
I do love the peacefulness around where I love. Which is pretty much 100% countryside. Doubt you’re near me Oldfloss. I will ping you a message if that’s ok? I don’t hear of many people being round my area. 😬
I run on fields and tracks..it is amazing...the only run in I had...was with a badger...I don't know who was more surprised!!
Your location sounds idyllic..if remote....I love my fields...and my coastal runs ever other week...they are very special..!
We do have tarmac here! 😂 I have however encountered deer pretty close which is nice on a run. Blooming heck. Never seen a live badger. Usually squashed on the side of the road. I’d think it was a dog if id seen one. They are massive
Motivation - here goes !
Lycra on in the morning 👖
Leave the house 🏠
Run Forest Run 🏃♂️
If not, then I will have to give you a virtual kick up your posterior ! 😳🏃♂️
You will feel a whole lot better - plus it will help with those gremlins and we will all be with you out there running too in our positive pants 🤣
Every the super supportive person! Thank you. Not sure if the Lycra still fits 😭. Weather is set to be just right, if I just keep running like Forrest I may end up in France! 😂
I know I will feel so much better and once you start you just can’t stop. You coming out at 5 am with me then?!
Maybe France is slightly too far 🤣 but would be very impressive !!
Lycra, shorts, tankini who cares what you wear or if you’ve put on a few pounds...
I have done my run today so will be out Tuesday at 6am but will be running in my sleep with you tomorrow 🤣 💤
Early morning run today? Not even sure what a Tankini is 😂 might have to show a bit of leg off and get the shorts out! How did you get on with your run?
Started off a bit fast today!
ROLL ON SPRING!
I did it!!
