Break the chain

After 3 days of spiralling down, feeling sorry for myself, and generally feeling down, I decided that ot doesn't matter that it's raining, I need to do it for myself. I broke the chain of 3 days couching.

What I have learnt?

1.5h is not enough break between lunch and run

What I reminded myself of?

Running in rain will make you cold and wet instead of hot and wet.

What next?

Proper stretch, and another run on Saturday.

Keep going!

Well done! I actually really like rain running 😂

Skipping too many days is a slippery slope, you've done the right thing getting yourself out there 👍🏻

Sounds like you've made this less than ideal run into a proper learning experience. Well done, the next one will be easier (given the weather forecast you may feel nostalgic for that 'wet and cold' feeling 😂)
