Had long day today and needed to run as indoor Pilates now suspended for 2 weeks... fat me said... ah but you’ve eaten so much rubbish today you’ll be too tired. The run will be hard ...don’t go. Thin me said you need to get out and work off all that food. Headed out...

First km, fat me struggled and kept saying let’s just stop. Thin me said let’s see how you feel after first km. Fat me felt all tense... thin me kept reminding me to relax , and as I did the run got easier....37 minutes later 4.6 km in, thin me said yea that’s totally enough now you did good. Fat me was silent......

Love my demons gremlins.......

Congratulations great effort well done. Gremlins can be a pain. I drown mine out with music whenever possible.

Love the running demons. My pride usually stops me from giving up And my fear of my clothes getting tight again!
