Tough run today W4R2 repeat

I had planned to run to the dentist this morning until I got up and saw the frost. The morning was already bad enough having to go to the dentist without risking an injury from slipping over. I waited till I was back before running. My god what a horrible run. Everything from my knees down hurt plus as I neared home I developed both back and tummy ache. I couldn’t wait to get home and get out of my kit. I didnt fail I managed all my runs so that’s great and the sun was shining another postitive. I’m drawing a line under today and hope that Saturday is a better run day.

I think most people would want to run FROM the dentest not to it, sorry that you did not enjoy your running today after being at the dentist, perhaps it was something to do with having been at the dentist but I am not sure why that would affect running 🏃🏾.

Sorry to hear both things, that you had a bad run, and that you had to go to the dentist! However, brilliant that despite all of this you still completed the run so that's another one ticked off! I think that going out running is no different to any other thing in life, you have good ones and not so good ones. Usually when you make a cup of coffee it's all straightforward, but every now and again you end up with more coffee granules on the kitchen worktop than you do in your cup! I'm hoping that Saturday is a day when every one posts that it was a perfect day to complete W4 R3 (not only because that is when I'm planning to do it too!)

I shall think of you then on Saturday morning. I’m actually repeating this week as I just could quite catch my breath last week but all being well with Saturday run I will be moving on next week. Good luck to us 🙏🏻

You still did it! Great work.

Must be something in the air today, lots of people seem to be struggling today.

Next run will be better!
