Week 8 Run3 nearly didn’t go!

8 Replies

But I did... I’d hardly slept, so got up at 4.30am and made a cuppa!

Went back to bed and when I woke it wasn’t like me at all, I was almost frightened of going. It was nerves and I was thinking I would fail!

Every ache and pain was telling me not to go, but then I’m thinking it’s going to be too hot later and if I don’t go every couple of days I won’t finish week 9! Next week...and then my 5year old granddaughter is coming to stay...

So magic shoes on and I never looked back!!!

Week 9 next week...

How did I get here?

Just loved the run today 🏃🏻‍♀️

Well done for beating the gremlins 😬👏👏👏

It certainly is as mental as physical isn't it !

But then as you said, you enjoyed the run.

Yes, thank you so much. Folk used to tell me I should get a dog as I was always out walking, but thinking about the gremlins I really should get a cat!!! 🤣😂😂

The gremlins were certainly trying to work on you this morning! You should do what Instructor57 did; he fed them to his cat! Well done for beating them and enjoying the run.

Only 2 more runs before graduation! You’ve got this! 👏👏👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👍
