Today it was hard. Without a doubt, the sleep debt I had accumulated had a sign of it.

- My spine hurt yesterday and today too.

- My soul was screaming at me very loudly that not today and that nothing would happen if I missed it once.

So I put on my shoes and set off. ๐Ÿ™„

Knowing that the psychic is a bitch,

I chose the slowest possible pace right from the start.

But I still struggled.

I chose the wider path, but forgot that it was more uphill. :-D

There is still a long way to go within 5 kilometers.

But I didn't give up!

Victory against all odds! :-)

Congratulations lusmo! Against all the odds you got out there and did it. Week 9 is looking over the parapet ๐Ÿ‘€ and it wonโ€™t be long till you defeat it so good on you. It wonโ€™t be long until you graduate so keep that thought every time you run.

Looking forward to reading more of your posts about your running journey ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

๐ŸItโ€™s really hard to run when one is sleep deprived & that also lowers oneโ€™s will power so extra well done for finishing against the odds, uphill as well!!! Today you are my hero! Well done!!

When youโ€™ve got through a run like that, it tells you something about yourself. You were tough enough to make it through and you can remember that when tough times come along again. Really well done โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ
