So after and week and a half of not running due to firstly the heat wave šŸŒž and then the monsoonā˜”ļø I decided to start week 5 again !

Boy did I battle the demons in my head !!

I did complete it but felt slower than ever. It wasnā€™t actually just felt endless.

Pleased that I made myself go, but definately lost my mojo a little ā˜¹ļø

Hereā€™s to Week5 run 2 and motivation returning. šŸ¤”

Nice comeback run. Iā€™m not sure from what Iā€™ve read there that the mojo is lost, even a little.

You say ā€œbattle the demons in your headā€ and I read that as you coached yourself through that run... you dug deep... you refused to quit... and you ended up victorious... maybe you canā€™t see that mojo, but itā€™s there in truckloads.

Have a great run 2.

Just for getting out and running after a short absence is great. You really squashed those demons and kicked them into touch. Bet itā€™s done wonders for your mojo, so keep going and enjoy the rest of your week šŸƒā€ā™€ļø
