Ugh 😫

First run in 10 days 😫 I really REALLY don’t want to do this (as in I was ready to leave the house 25 minutes ago and I’ve only just stepped out 🤦🏻‍♀️). Here goes...

But you’ll feel really REALLY so much better upon completion.

Feeling so glad that I dragged myself out!

[PMcL1966 Graduate in reply to Lula375]

Well done.

Perhaps you should find another form of exercise to keep you fit or maybe just slow down.

Slowing down to the recommended easy conversational pace makes it more achievable and for most, more enjoyable.

Back now and feeling so much better for having gone. I took a break because on my last run I think I had a trapped nerve and my leg kept feeling like it would give way. Today is the first time in a long time that I haven’t had calf pain, so I think the break is what I needed. And yes, I will stop putting pressure on myself to go faster/further!

Good for you. Well done. I guess your body was probably saying have a break. I've just got back from W5R1 soaked to the skin; but a big old grin. Just me the sea and the mountains. Happy days!!!!

Making it a fixed routine might help: something you can do on auto-pilot before the gremlins start whispering to you. 👺

Tbf, it’s a bit like the alarm going off for work on a Monday morning. Rarely want to get up, but I love it when I’m there 😄
