Might need encouragement for my afternoon run. I know, I think I’ll do it. I think I look forward to it.But that fat sofa and a g and t. They sort of drag me off course...

Got to stay focused 😳🐕🏃🏼‍♀️

Yeah... focus on that sofa and G&T! Of course that’s how to spend a Friday evening. You know what though? It tastes so much better after a run! Don’t take my word for it, go find out for yourself. Have a great run, I’m running too so will be your VRB... and heck, I’ll raise a glass with you later too!

Go for it! All the runs you've done so far have prepared you for this one. You can do it just don't think about it.

I've week 8 run 3 this morning and trying to tell myself the same thing.

You will enjoy your sofa and G & T so much more afterwards. Good luck 👍

Repeat after me: the only runs you regret are the runs you don't do!

Just think about how smug you'll feel after you've done it. Good luck

I am probably too late to encourage you, as I m sure you have run by now with all these encouraging posts and pledges of G&T and Chocolate...Enid is almost (and I say almost) ready to run in your place if she can have your drink and chocolate bar?

So if you haven't got off that coach by now...more over...room for a tubby one? :-)

Comfortnotspeed in reply toNilsam

Ah thank you. I did it! It was the lovely support messages that got me away from the sofa! And now... there is gin!!
