Week off treat.... not the best idea!

5 Replies

I graduated two weeks ago and decided to give myself a week off running as a “well done” treat.

Turned out to be a bad decision on my behalf as one week led to two weeks and I almost lost my enthusiasm for running, it took a proverbial kick up the butt from Slothgoesrunning to get me back on track! Won’t be doing that again😀

Completed my first consolidation run this morning

Thanks Slothgoesrunning!

You've had a longer break than you thought. Sometimes to long a break can make your first run back harder but you did it. Well done you 😊😊

Least you are back on the run. Perhaps a treat in future could be champagne or pair of new trainers? 😁

New trainers, excellent idea!
