Thank you Queen for putting things in perspective

OK, so it was W6R1 today and I struggled but not for the expected reasons. I'd taken heed of the warnings about returning to intervals and though I felt they disrupted the rhythm I wasn't too tired by the end (thank god). However, it really made me appreciate the power of positive thinking before a run. Last time I was raring to go but I had some news yesterday which knocked the wind out of my sails and had me waking up every hour last night. Safe to say, I was depending on the run to cheer me up a bit though I wasn't expecting miracles.

I had to smile though at the end of the last run when it felt that Freddie was singing directly to me: 'The show must go on!' Indeed it must. Thanks for the musical pep talk, I needed it.

Well done on completing week 6 run 1 πŸ˜¬πŸ‘

And yes, absolutely, the power of the mind is incredible .

It's great when your playlist pulls out the most appropriate to song at the right time 😁

Thanks Instructor57. Yes it's weird how playlists do that. This is the first time, really, that I've not looked forward to a run but hopefully I've picked myself up by the scruff of the neck for next time
