I lost my mojo a few weeks ago just as I was about to start week 5 - no particular reason, just couldn’t find the drive to keep moving through this programme. However I was still walking loads and have done my best to keep healthy habits so today started back at week 3 again. It’s wasn’t easy but I’m glad to say I did it and feel good! I actually enjoy running - there’s a memory of happiness every time I manage to go and it felt lovely today again. Aiming for run 2 on Tuesday after work. Happy running everyone.

So pleased to hear you enjoyed the run.

It’s the motivation out of the door that can be the hardest. I try to remember how I’ll feel after the run and give myself a 10 minute timescale for starting a run - I only have to go for 10 minutes. Once I’m through that, I have broken the inertia and just keep going.

Have fun on the next run

I’ve also not run the past couple of weeks - no particular reason, just one thing or another getting in the way. I can’t go tonight, but maybe tomorrow… :)

Great to hear from you 🌈C.

Same thing here but happy to be out today. I’ve been walking loads but couldn’t muster the drive to up the pace to a run. Ollie and I did well though lol. He loves being out and about. We did a slightly different route today which is flatter then our usual run and he loved it.

I hope everything is going well for you. Sending loads of good wishes.
