Consolidation run 2

Done! Yesterday I was not sure if I could do it, felt so tired and this morning did not feel motivated at all to get up. But, as I bought some running socks (yes, read about these on this forum and treated myself with my first running socks ever!), I did want to make a good use of them this morning!

Slow pace, my right knee started hurting at 22mins, but I still managed to complete the run. Don’t feel excited about it, maybe a bit indifferent/ flat 😐 so this may be a sign that some unwanted gremlins followed me back home and took my joy away from me.

Even if you don’t feel amazing, you did it! Not every run is a great run, but it sure is worth it when it happens. I hope next one feels better!

Well done for doing it then despite not being motivated πŸ‘ maybe some Coaching from Coach Bennett will help 🌻

I have to find out more about it but that may be the direction for me to look at! 😊

Maybe the sore knee robbed you of your joy but it’s a great achievement to get where you are. Look after it and I hope the next one will feel better.

Thank you! πŸ˜€ I feel now that was an achievement and maybe sometimes the positive feeling does now happen as soon as I want it 🌼
