Hold me accountable please 🤨

[Bluecat9]

How are you all? I hope you’ve all had a great week so far.

I have had a lazy week so far and haven’t pushed myself to get out there and run since Saturday. I’m planning on going tomorrow after work as tonight, just like today has proved to be to busy and full of other responsibilities that can’t be put off.

Tomorrow I will get out there. I now feel I will be far more motivated to face the cold, that I have posted on here

[Comfortnotspeed]

Yep. You’ve thought it, typed it, posted it. Now you feel committed. Now your VRBs who really want you to do this will be sending positive vibes to get you out there!

Don’t forget how important you are and C25k is for you 😊

[Bluecat9 in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

Thank you Comfortnotspeed. That’s exactly it! I feel committed to going out now and not giving in to ‘reasonable excuses’ 😁

I wouldn’t mind but I enjoy it when I’m out there.

Just quickly read you story, you do not need to be held accountable, you are a fighter and have gone through enough already, think why you started take it easy we are all watching 🧐 and pick your clothes up off the floor, you should know better!

[Bluecat9 in reply to T2runner]

T2runner, I LOVE this reply 😂Thank you so much.

I do need to stress it wasn’t my clothes though, 2 teenage boys and a tweenage boy are to blame for that delightful mess.

[T2runner Graduate in reply to Bluecat9]

Oh in that case you must be knackered, put your feet up and take it easy 🤪🍷

[Bluecat9 in reply to T2runner]

😂 I’m always knackered. Teens and tweens or not. It will be nice when they help a little more around the house by choice and without the strops lol

As a Mam to 4 boys, good luck with that one 🙄😆

Well done for getting out, fit runs in when/ if you can and be kind to yourself! If it doesn’t get done, so what🤷🏻‍♀️ There’s always tomorrow. And that goes for everything non essential, be it runs, housework, washing ! 🌶x

[Bluecat9 in reply to Jalapenolover101]

Lol thank you for the support. There should be a topic on here for parents to share the trials and tribulations as well the joys of parenting.

[Jalapenolover101 Graduate in reply to Bluecat9]

We’d probably take over, chattering 🙄😉🤣, it is the most wonderful, amazing thing, being a parent but ....... jeeeeeeze!...... wonder why I love those evening runs so much?😉🤫🤭😆🌶x

[Bluecat9 in reply to Jalapenolover101]

😂 true, but so necessary sometimes lol.

Haha yes, I know what you mean. I’m a single mum so I’m with you on the love of the ‘me time’

[Roxdog Graduate]

Yes we will look forward to you telling us all about your next run!

[Bluecat9 in reply to Roxdog]

Thank you Roxdog

Hi Bluecat9 ...don’t worry about life getting in the way, that happens to the best of us!! the main thing is, you sound determined to get out there and now you have to report back to us so there’s no getting out of it now!!! Start nice and slowly so you warm up gradually and compose your post while you’re at it, that’ll keep your mind off the cold xx

[Bluecat9 in reply to Mummycav]

Well Mummycav, that sounds like a good plan to me.

[Bluecat9 in reply to Mummycav]

Out of interest, how did you get my user name to link?

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Have a good run tomorrow i will look out for your post about it

[Bluecat9 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you WillowandSola.

[Nilsam Graduate]

Dangerous thing to do...But it does work. You've committed yourself now. 🙈 Hope you have a good day and happy run. 👍

[Bluecat9 in reply to Nilsam]

Thank you Nilsam. I’m really hoping it motivates me to keep to it. Fingers crossed for a good day tomorrow and not one that needs recovering from, so I can actually get out there and run

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Bluecat9]

Have a good day. You definitely have the right frame of mind!

[Parky88 Graduate]

Enjoy! And let us know how you get on

[Bluecat9 in reply to Parky88]

Thank you Parky88, I will do

[Ferrygirl Graduate]

Twice the motivation needed in poor weather, but twice the reward afterwards for doing it 😁

[Bluecat9 in reply to Ferrygirl]

Yes!!!

[Reluctantrunner40 Graduate]

This forum is good for that! Once you’ve posted you have to go! Good luck for tomorrow, it’s always worth it once you get out there. I’m also running tomorrow so I have to do it now as well! 🤣

[Bluecat9 in reply to Reluctantrunner40]

We’ll have to check on each other tomorrow evening 😂 good luck to you too

[Reluctantrunner40 Graduate in reply to Bluecat9]

We will! 😂

[Bluecat9 in reply to Reluctantrunner40]

😂 catch you tomorrow then

[Bluecat9 in reply to Reluctantrunner40]

Hope you manage/d to get out there tonight for your run 🏃🏽‍♀️

[Reluctantrunner40 Graduate in reply to Bluecat9]

I did, I went this morning, did you?!

[Bluecat9 in reply to Reluctantrunner40]

Well done :). Yes, I went this evening while my youngest was at his footy training.

[Reluctantrunner40 Graduate in reply to Bluecat9]

Well done for making it! Did you feel better for it? What week are you up to? Like always I was so pleased to get another run completed!

[Bluecat9 in reply to Reluctantrunner40]

Definitely felt better for it thank you. Not very far in, that was wk 2 run 2 although my 4th attempt. Third time I’ve managed the full amount but want to get one more in before I move on

Where are you at?

[Reluctantrunner40 Graduate in reply to Bluecat9]

You’re doing it that’s the main thing, so well done! Good luck with your next run. I’m at W4 R3 next, each week I’ve looked at the next runs and thought I’ll never manage that but do some how! ☺️

[Bluecat9 in reply to Reluctantrunner40]

Yeah I’ve had a look at wk3s runs and not sure how I’ll do it, but I’m hoping I manage it like you have. 😊

[Reluctantrunner40 Graduate in reply to Bluecat9]

You will definitely! When is your next run planned for? I’m going on Sunday morning (got to go now!)
