Feeling disappointed

Well I have been running 3 times a week since graduation a month or so ago 2 of which are 5k and one long run which last week was 8 k. I went out this morning to cover my long run but could only just manage 5k. I felt really disappointed but then gave myself a good talking too saying just 3 months ago you struggled to run 1 min so feeling slightly better now 😀

That was a good “good talking to”! It’s important to keep things in perspective... I’ve changed my long run day on the fly several times now. Great job.

Goodness, sounds like you are doing an amazing job of keeping up running. I could do with one of your motivational pep talks!

Don't be disappointed. Runs like life do not always go to plan. Offence not intended but we are past the first flush of youth and our bodies have seen some action. Us mature woman however are totally amazing and put some young uns to shame.

I think the problem is our minds are stuck in the 70s/80s.
