Good Morning All.I just wanted to pop on here & say thankyou for all the kind supportive & helpful comments that I revieved yesterday with regards to my stupid menopausal struggles running!!!

It's all definitely helped especially the reminders that I really need to be kinder to myself!!!so I gave myself a good talking to yesterday...yes I really did...out loud...to myself...like an absolute lunatic 😁 & am trying my very best to adopt a more positive outlook on the whole situation recently I have been absolute punishing myself by comparing these runs to runs 8 months ago & 3 years ago which is clearly incredibly unhelpful & counterproductive.i need to accept things as they are & work around it.instead of feeling sad & frustrated that it's so much harder now I need to feel super proud of myself that I am STILL pushing myself out the door every other day come rain or shine & managing to get it done.

So that's what I did today...I did run 2 of week 6(I absolutely hate week 6...it messes with your head!!!)& again it was really hard...but I got it done...i went slower than slow...I reckon I could walk faster hahaha πŸ˜† but I tried my best to feel proud of myself today...& it did feel better.i think I still have work to do but I wanted to say thankyou for helping...its very much appreciated πŸ™πŸ₯°

Congratulations on completing Week 6 Run 2!

Every single run is different from every other run in some particular way. You are right not to compare current runs to earlier ones.

Keep going unless your body says 'no'...the programme is here for you and will be here for you...
