Arghh, that was a bad one!

[RunawayBetty]

Well, the best that can be said about this run is that it's done! I didn't feel it today, had to force myself to go out, needed years to decide what to wear (not cold here today but very windy), had to push really hard all the way through, buff was too hot and I couldn't get it off, and the gremlins didn't stop talking from start to finish. "Why am I doing this again?" "Must be mad!" "Crocheting would have been such a nice new hobby, why did it have to be running?"

Actually, the only thing that distracted me from my grumpiness was listening to my own grumpy thoughts. Was kind of fun ... W8, R3 will be better, I hope!

Well done for getting out there and doing it, despite the grumpiness! It’s another step forward to graduation day👍😁

[RunawayBetty Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

Thank you, Wenderwoo! 😊 The thought of graduation day getting nearer really keeps me going, like that donkey/carrot thing. Hope you're getting better and can leave the IC soon! Missing your posts ... All the best to you!

Thanks, and I’m looking forward to seeing you graduate 😁

W8 is tough. I remember moaning to myself too. Don't worry, it will get better, hang in there 👍🏻😁

[RunawayBetty Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Ah, thank you, that is really encouraging and good to hear! 😊

Sometimes a run doesn't go to plan and you just aren't feeling it. But you did it. Well done you 😊😊

You are progressing so well and whatever your gremlins were up to you fought through, well done. We all have days like those. Happy running next time

Hey you did it though.....well done! A few more kilometres in the running bank, they all count, even the grumpy ones 👏

[RunawayBetty Graduate in reply to Jerichomile]

😊 Thank you! I think the grumpy ones should count double ...

Ah Betty - a run is a run so well done you on getting out there! And embrace that grumpiness; I think I’m probably degree level grumpy - it’s great!!

One run nearer to graduation 👍. I hate running in the wind.

[RunawayBetty Graduate in reply to Speedy60]

Yes, cold and rain is fine, but wind makes me kind of aggressive ...
