Don't know about you but, I faff a lot before going out for a run ๐ I can be dressed in seconds but what comes after is... Have I got this, have I done that, etc. Then, brush my teeth again, drink some more water, again, go to the loo, again, go back downstairs, then decide where I'm going to run! ๐ Once I've decided where to go, I need the loo again๐ง
So that happened this morning before I left the house. Drove to the place a decided to run, parked up and sat in the car for a bit. Something didn't feel right? Negativity had kicked in! There were too many runners, too many dog walkers, too many cyclists! So I drove off and had a little drive around for another place to run. Too many hills! Feck, Feck, Feck, Feck, Feck! ๐ญ
To cut a very long story short...I returned to the original spot, parked up, got out of the car, without headphones and ran with the sound of nature ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฟ๏ธ๐๐๐๏ธ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆข๐๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐
First 5 minutes were grim ๐ฑ but got my positivity back and started breathing properly and enjoyed the outward run into the village of Lower Bradfield, round the duck pond and back along Dam Flask Reservoir. Feeling really good now and not far to go before I get to the car. I know, I thought, I'll run a bit faster for the last bit ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ๐ณ
Well I must have really put my foot down! 5k in 28.20mins ๐ฅด๐คช I'm well happy with that! โค๏ธ
Hope you're all having a great weekend! xxxx
