First run done, can't believe how much I built this one up in my head after a bad run end of wk 2. It was actually ok! Wouldn't say I enjoyed it but I did feel great after. I think I will enjoy run 2 now I know it's not so bad. Gotta stop that inner dialogue!

We certainly all seem to carry the little voice with us. My aim is to calm it and educate it...I have tried pod casts to listen to while I run. That helps. Others have talked about using an image of a little person or gremlin that you can leave at home or nudge out of the way. Happy running...enjoy the programme. 🏃‍♀️👍

Sounds like you knocked your negative gremlin 😈 🔨 on its head this morning and told it to be quiet! Well done! Hope the rest of week 3 goes well 😊.
