Thank you to everyone who responded and gave me advice and inspiration (week8, run 2 F...)

So, following on from my post the other day where I could not complete my run 2 of week 8 and I lost all my mojo! I just want to thank everyone who took the time to comment and leave some advice and inspiration. I took it all on board and gave myself a talking to at work today. I went out for a run straight after work, and before it got too dark. I slowed down to avg. of 8.10/km (from 7.47/km) and I managed to get into a good stride, I took lots of deep breaths and kept telling myself I got this.... and, I managed to run for 30 minutes!!! Ran 3.7km, not quite 4km but I am happy I managed it and the run was "ok". I definitely need to find a new route as I do think I am a bit bored of the local park.

So YAY! I feel like I have made a bit of a come-back from the dire feelings on Saturday. Thank you so much to everyone for the support Looking forward now to hitting the 4km and then the park run!

Such good news that you went out and smashed it today! A different day, a completely different outcome.

Glad we helped you chase those gremlins away, here's to your future progress

Atta girl - well done you

Varying your runs a very good idea too.

Good luck although now I’ll think you’re over the dodgy patch…

[Susanlikesblue in reply to Jancanrunagain]

Haha fingers are crossed that that is true I might hold you to that sentiment!
