What a grey day

Hey all, sorry I’ve been silent on here. I pushed through the first run of week 2 and have just completed the second of week 2. Many more people were out in groups today which made me feel anxious also because of me being alone.

I waited and had some encouragement from my best friend via WhatsApp. Popped my headphones in and picked an 80’s Spotify playlist this time round.

It went well.

There was a kid on a tricycle which was cycling as if there were traffic cones to go round which was tricky and threw me off a bit but picked it back up after. My headphones also cut out halfway through and paused the app then got them reconnected and carried on.

Distractions are a bit tricky for me but I’m really pleased with myself and enjoying cooling down now I have done my run. Hope you are all good and okay. Big love.

Well done on your run - and what a lovely friend to remember and encourage you too!👍😀 I have also noticed more groups out recently - almost inevitable as we slowly move out of Lockdown, I guess but I share your worries. Another run ticked off and great that it is going well! 🙂
