W9 struggles 😶🦋

[Flaraflarkin]

6 days ago I completed W8 ... I have had genuine reasons for not running since then. But there have also been times when I could have run, but chose not to. There has been some resistance for sure. So this morning I got up early, set up W9R1 and bailed out at 15 minutes. It was hard, and I gave in 🤷‍♀️ But I'm not beating myself up, I'll probably try again this evening - and hopefully I'll have found that inner determination I need in times like this!

I just wanna get this done!!😤 And I'm hoping that posting here will give me that shove I need 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🦋

You probably don’t remember, but I had exactly this problem with w9r2. Go back out when you feel ready - it doesn’t have to be today - determined just to keep going. Remember that thing about “if none of your limbs are broken, just slow down and keep running”? That.

One day never defines a runner, you know this of course... you’ll kick its butt next time for sure. Get some rest and self pampering in and you’ll be good to go.

Hey Flar!! 🦋

You’re at W9!! That’s brilliant🤗. Just as you’ve got through all the past 24 runs, you’ll get the next 3 done!!

There is something about being so close that can increase the pressure. There is no right way to do this Flar!! You do you!! You already have everything that is required to complete. If you go back out today, it’s just about this day. It’s always about this day, this moment, this time and earlier today has passed. You did run. You might not have run as planned, but that run is history!

Don’t hesitate to press reset on the mindset. You’re truly a butterfly, so float around freely!! 🦋That is so beautifully brilliant! ❤️

If you need a shove you have come to the right place.

You are the mistress of gremlin slaying and we know the pesky little devils can sneak up and sow the seeds of self doubt.

No sure about another run today myself .

You can do it , it's only 2 mins more than last week.

I shall be waiting for the post in a week or so to inform of the graduation run.

Happy trotting 🦋

Its gremlins! The little blighters are probably hiding in the shadows somewhere.!

Open the curtains, turn on the lights, and they'll be off when they have nowhere to hide!
