Gremlins tried to run with me yesterday

So yesterday I did my third 25 min run but only the second run of Week 7. This was the first run of my current C25K having graduated previously that voices were there saying you don’t have to do this, it’s drizzling you can do it another night etc but I plodded on thinking that Laura will be speaking soon. This was one of the runs I wished she spoke a little more but my Mavericks Music had to do. I mixed route up again as second dark run even later than last one out on the streets. It was slower than the last run but it was completed and staying on plan. Hope everyone is still running and no injuries stay safe and healthy now that a lot of us are either running in the dark.

Excellent! Well done for getting out of the door and doing it. That’s often the hardest part. How did it feel as you were running it?

The gremlins popped out very early on this run but got it done. It felt hard but it’s now down. One more for week 7 to be completed. It feels great having completed the run.

👏Well done for getting the run done in spite of those gremlins.. sometimes the satisfaction that comes after completing a run like that is all the sweeter!

Thanks WillowandSola it’s sort of good to be on the way back to where I was. Will see how we do in the last few weeks.
