Week 9 worries

Went out this morning for week 9 run 2 and had to stop running after 18 minutes. Not sure why I'd stopped before I'd thought about it and couldn't bring myself to continue. Think I psyched myself out about an upcoming incline. Boooo was feeling so positive after week 9 run 1 was hard but achievable!

Will try again...I must graduate!!

Everything going on in our lives can impact on our performance as a runner. Restedness, hydration and nutrition are at the top of my list of variables that need to be optimised to enable enjoyable running.

Have a rest day, prepare well, relax and enjoy the next run.

You can do this.

Don't let it get you down, sometimes we just have an off day. I'm sure your next run will be better. Of course you will graduate, you can totally do it! ☺
