Week 8 Run 1 - Wow am I really doing this?

[Birdlady64]

I really didn't want to go out for a run today. I could have easily just slumped on the sofa with a nice cold beer after finishing my days work.

But I forced myself and I think it was my best one yet. 😀 I settled down much sooner - my usual toxic 15 was more like a toxic 7 - and when Michael said I'd been running for 14 minutes it was a surprise. The swimmer is turning into a runner.! 🏊‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Even better I am now slumped on the sofa with a nice cold beer 🍺 😀

Sometimes the “don’t want to run run” is the best... the achievement of getting my shoes on when I can’t be bothered always gives me a lift! Great job getting out there and a wonderful smooth 28 minuter.

Thanks!

Yeah it's a bit like getting up for my early morning swims. Sometimes the snooze button is soooo tempting 💤 but I can honestly say I have never, ever, felt worse after forcing myself up out of bed and into the water than before I started off

I need a C25K for swimming when the pools reopen, not done it seriously for way too long.

[Birdlady64 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

You and me both.

With swimming timing and breathing is everything. I reckon I will have to learn how to do that all over again after all this running 🙂
