So an unexpected day off and a lazy morning and a late soak in the bath thinking shall I run today or not 🤔
So I logged onto the forum, read a few posts and was still undecided !
So I eventually thought, I know , I'll go and run while I'm thinking about it ! Haha 😁
So I did !
Out of the bath , running gear on and off I went ! 😁🏃
Nothing special, just a 5K to keep me in practice , but I'm happy that I did it (as always).
No NRC today ,
Just a Pink Floyd playlist (Animals) and back for lunch 😁
"Nothing special, just a 5K" 😇😇
Back in the Summer, this was stuff of dreams!! A 5K relaxed run for fun.
Well done on the sub-40 time and keeping on trucking.
Thanks Zoe ! 😁Yes, your right ! It's easy to forget where we were then 👍
Well done, Ian. Glad you got out there! And you ran a sub 40 minute 5K 👏👏👏👍 You know, that’s kind of what I do. I lie in bed thinking “I’m not sure if I want to go”. In the shower, I’m thinking that same thing. As I’m putting on my running gear, thinking the same. As I open the front door, I think, ‘Well, you’re here now, you might as well go!’
In fact, sometimes I even start running and I’m still arguing with myself about going 😂
Haha, glad I'm not alone with that ! But yes , that was exactly how it was 😂
Good run for you today Instructor57, another sub 40 minute 5K, congratulations on that, you enjoyed your run, that is the main thing.
Yes, it was as always , the getting out of the door that's the hardest part ! 😁
I ran a 8K personal best yesterday, getting out and starting the run was OK, 3/4 of the way through the run when I was feeling a bit knackered I passed a large sign advertising the local 10K for 2020, but there was no 2020 10K, however, I thought to myself "no way will I be running the 2021 run" after I finished that 8K in a time of 56.57 I thought I might run that 10K next September, I do always find the hardest part around 3/4 into my run. 🏃🏾
That's a great time for your 8K Al 👍Well done !
👍 🏃🏾
Totally agree about "getting out the door is the hardest part".
And do you find it odd that a 5k is "nothing special" now?
Yes, I really fight with myself sometimes .Perhaps 'Nothing special' was the wrong phrase to use , what I meant was, there was nothing unexpected 😁
Nowt not to like about a 5k outing Instructor57 👍
Yes thanks , glad I went out now 😁👍
Great start to an unexpected day off 😁👍hope you gave yourself a pat on the back 😁
Yes , I did as I wasen't going to run at first 😁👍
Isn't that the wrong way around? Bath followed by run?
Pleased to hear you got out there today when you weren't really wanting to. Seems to be a bit of a theme at the moment doesn't it?
Nothing special? I beg to differ. You had a good run in the end - another sub-40 minute 5k. And every run is special, and a privilege, in my book - even if we do like to whinge about it sometimes.
Haha, yes it was the wrong way around, but I'd decided on the bath and at that time hadn't decided to run , so it ended up the wrong way around and then a shower as well after the run 🤣
Probably warmed your muscles up nicely for the run though
Yes , ! I never thought of that 😂😬👍
Impressed that you didn’t talk yourself out of going. And another good time.
Thank you , I was still discussing it with myself as I started 🤣
Lol so funny how you say “nothing special just a 5K!!” !5k is fantastic, plus another sub 40 it is brilliant.
That is how I feel when I am trying to go out early!! Thinking about it for a few hours when I could have just got up and gone for a run. Would you believe I actually thought maybe I should sleep in my running gear then I am ready as soon as I get up (lol I won’t though!!)
Take care
🏃🏻♀️💪🐻🐻🐻👨🏭❄️🎄
Haha, I didn't mean it to sound flippant over a 5K , it was more to do with nothing special happened in the run 😁Oh that's a good idea , sleep in my gear 😂😂😂
Week 9 run 3 - I don't believe it!!!
I don't care if I never run 5K...
Getting slower and I don't know why, can you help?
Struggling.. but don't know why
I did my graduation run today!!
