Week 5 run 2

I have felt ropey all day but I went out for this run. Normally I feel a bit off for 10 mins but this time it lasted all the way through. Endorphins did not kick in at all. I was due a bad one as I have been having a run if you excuse the pun of good runs. Positive was I did not realise the runs were 8mins so when I heard I had run for 8 mins the first time I realised I only had to do one more run πŸ˜‚

No 4.3km in the whole time which was 31 mins. You are still the champ πŸ˜‚

When you can get through a run that feels tough, that’s the one that teaches you about the mental staying power! Well done πŸ‘ You know now that you can tackle any of them..you will also appreciate the good runs all the more! πŸ‘πŸŽˆ

It's hard when you're feeling a bit off...when you're not too poorly to run so you just have to get on with it regardless!

Glad you got through it, one more done and hopefully you'll be fighting fit for the next one πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Not what you're looking for?
