Should I stay or should I go....

[Sara_Wales]

That was my dilemma this morning. Had a terrible night... just a few hours disturbed sleep. When the alarm went off at 5, I couldn't have felt less like getting out of bed, let alone going out for a run. I was so torn.... my head voice was telling me I should just put the run off until tomorrow, so that I could do it rested.... but that would mean delaying my graduation, which I have planned for Monday... and I really didn't want to do that. After about 20 mins of indecisiveness I thought I may as well give it a try. I decided I would go even slower than my last run and just go from there.... just see how it went.

I can't say it was the smoothest of starts. My legs felt like lead on the warm up walk. Then the C25K app bombed out... told me to start walking then crashed after that and wouldn't restart. So I had to set off without Laura for company today.... then I got smacked in the face by a swarm of flies - nice!

But I did it! I changed the route slightly, which turned out to be a lot easier than my usual hilly terrain... felt like I could have kept on going... but thought I had better stop in case I did myself an injury!

Only one run left... I'm already excited about it!

Going to reward my determination today with a few G&Ts this evening.... Have a beautiful weekend all... enjoy the sunshine ☀️

Well done, you are so close to graduation, early morning sounds perfect apart from the flies but i’ve not made it out the door early yet

Today was the first time I've run through so many. I have had the odd one kamikaze me, but nothing in comparison. Usually at that time of the morning all you see is birds and low mist... it can be very beautiful.. you should give it a try sometime!

Omg this is so nice to read! Determination and grit!!! Oh and flies? Urgh, dirty stinking hanging little things! But they are food for the little spiders so I will let them exist x haha x well

Done you!

Hahaha..... that is true! I am quite tolerant of most things.... except mosquitos.... hate the pesky things! The only thing I dont mind squishing! 😊

Hope everything went well for your daughter x
