W8R3 and the grumps

[Wenderwoo]

Today was one of those “I don’t want to do it today” days, a “why am I doing this?” day, a “if I go any slower I’ll stop” day.

But, with the forecast as it is for the weekend, it’s today or get extremely wet over the weekend, and today won.

It was hard, I’m going slower than ever - in fact if I don’t speed up my runs won’t qualify for the impending running World Cup!

So, to summarise, I’m in a grump 👿

But never fear, it won’t last long.........👍😁

Hi Wenderwoo...you are SO right. Apparently storm Dennis is on its way. I do that. i try to get out between showers on a rainy day and one day was so squally I even gave up. glad i did tho cos it was only once in the 4 months its taken me to get to this , my graduation day. some days are better than others but slap yourself on the back and say well done ..you DID it. You got yourself out there. Lovely weather is coming soon. spring is on its way and you'll be graduating with the blossom. Lovely.

I am sitting here trying to get myself out the door to do the same run.

Well done you for getting it done.

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to NIGHTINGALE1]

Get yourself out there before Dennis arrives 👍😁

[NIGHTINGALE1 Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

I did it!

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to NIGHTINGALE1]

Yay! Bet your glad this morning with this weather 😁

[NIGHTINGALE1 Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

Although wet here this morning I would run in this. But not later when the wind and the real heavy rain arrives. Because I am on hols next week I have greater flexibility about when I run so hopefully can dodge the worst of the weather. Good luck with your running next week.

[Buddy34 Graduate]

You know as well as me we all get those kind of days or runs. But you got out and you did it. Hope you've cheered up a bit now. Have a nice weekend 🤗🤗🤗

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thanks! I’m fine now the endorphins have kicked in 😁

[MartinKH Graduate]

Brilliant that you went out and did it 👍💪, despite not feeling like it.

Glad the endorphins have kicked in now.

[Speedy60 Graduate]

They can't all be great runs. You did it, that's what matters. Onward and upward! 🏅👏

[Womangolfer Graduate]

Well done on going out when not really in the mood. It’s easy to go when in the right mood but so much harder when not so well done. Hope the weather isn’t to bad. If it’s any consolation I just got soaked playing golf but the sun is coming out now. 😁🌞🥳

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Aww hope your grump went away, when i get in a grump Willow throws me a bit of nicotine gum lol

You went out and you ran, I really only started to enjoy running when we’d finished the programme and was in control, often I say we can only run 15 minutes and then we run on and on like today I didn’t really want to stop at 40 minutes

Good luck for next week

[Roxdog Graduate]

Well done for getting out there Wenderwoo! Tough to get yourself out of that door sometimes isn't it! But you did it! On to week 9!

[Ryndle]

Well done for completing Wenderwoo, enjoy the grumps, we’re all allowed to occasionally 😊

At least you missed out on Dennis, enjoy your rest day tomorrow while he’s doing his worst x

[Sar9 Graduate]

Aww sorry you’re in a grump!!! But you should be pleased you got out and completed another run! Well done! And on to the home straight of week 9... yippeeee!

I’m heading out for my run shortly and feeling grumps too lol 😂🙄 x

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Sar9]

You’ll feel much better afterwards 👍😁

[Sar9 Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

You’re right! I do!!! Much better run than Wednesday! Despite my running lights dying a death half way! X

[Joanney69 Graduate]

Well done for getting it done 😊

I am due to start week 8 tomorrow - going to check how early Dennis is going to arrive & aim to get out there before he blows in 😁 🍃 hopefully!

Only 3 runs left - go you ☺️ 🏃 👍

[Bluecat9]

I’m happy to join the grump club if you’ll let me. Albeit for a slightly different reason.

Well done for getting out there though. That brill that you did x

[Mum22boys Graduate]

I firmly believe it's these runs that make us stronger, well done for getting out there

[D48P Graduate]

Determination at its best well done 🏃🏻‍♀️👏👏👏

[AliHC Graduate]

Well done Wenderwoo ! You are doing so well! 3 more runs to go!!!

I'm doing the World Cup Running too! Hopefully you next 3 runs will be easier than the last 3 with the wind and rain! Good luck! 🏅🏆🍀
