Week 8 run 3 — And it didn’t happen 🥲

[MintT]

Not for the want of trying.

Saturday mornings I volunteer at a Kid’s club. Immersion in a foreign language is good and children being children just natter on regardless of my comprehension.

This meant needing to run in the afternoon — psychologically this is a block for me but regardless of this I decided to ‘get over myself’ and show up.

Storm Martinho is still raging here although it should have blown itself out by Monday. I’m celebrating the fact Portugal’s production of wind powered electricity hit an all time high and the reservoirs in the South are now at 80% both of which are great news for this lovely country.

However, the weather warnings are such that running outdoors is not recommended and even though I much prefer being outside, I battled the wind and headed to the gym.

Afternoon running and inside running are not my favourite ways of training but I know won’t achieve if I don’t show up, right?

The gym was closed!!!

I tried 😩

Thinking Monday morning might now be a better option, let the storm blow itself out, now to remain motivated Onwards ♥️

How annoying. However, it’s a great opportunity to get some home-based cross training in, with yoga or weights or body weights. If you need some ideas, head to our sister forum about strength & flexibility: healthunlocked.com/strength...

Bum! It’s a shocker when the fates are against you, but safety first as ever. Hoping morning outside happens next time….

Thank you — maybe we’ll end up completing about the same time — onwards! ♥️
