I have a baaad feeling about this...

[sheps]

That's what I said to myself as I finished the 5 minute warm up walk and started to run - going really well with a good brisk wind at my back - knowing that that wind was going to be in my face on the final stretch.

After the elation of the graduation run on Sunday, the planned Tuesday run had to be postponed because of an early medical appointment before work, then work then Suoer stong winds in the afternoon (and I don't like afternoon runs anyway). So Wednesday it would be. And, as I lay awake for half the night - really, several hours - I still intended to get up and do it. However, having fallen asleep finally, I woke up feeling absolutely horrible and chose discretion over valour, opting for a relaxed day at home. All a bit worrying until I got some good results back from the gp and was able to stop fretting. I hadn't realised how much it was affecting me.

So, this morning, Out of bed and on with the kit and into the still unpleasantly strong winds as described previously. But I did it, and i didn't cut it short as I was half expecting to do. Body told the mind that it was going ok and the mind listened.

So, sorry to my fellow graduate consolidators, MintT and Jancanrunagain Sorry to be flaky but at least I'm on it again. Sunday will be my next opportunity.

Best wishes to you all xx

You weren’t flaky at all - you did a consolidation run - you must work as well as get in life stuff and running. I’m retired with little else now to deal with. So no complaints from team consolidation.

I’m with you on afternoon runs they’re never as easy to do for me. Hopefully I’ll join you in the Sunday effort

[MintT Graduate]

Oh my goodness that hardly constitutes flakiness.

Well done for running and completing especially in winds. I really struggled on Tuesday. But we did it. All of us and that’s a big hurrah in my book!

I’m also retired so have an advantage in planning my time, it’s much easier than when I was working.

So pleased you received good results, when you’ve something like that hanging over you, your priorities are different, even if we don’t actually realise or can rationalise this.

Onwards we go— together ♥️

Oh, you two are lovely. Thanks for the pep talk.

We graduate, we consolidate and we support each other - it’s part of the Macbeth witches Director’s cut that few people have read

There once was runners three

Named JCR, Sheps and MintT

Countries apart

But all having good heart

They get to run together virtually

sorry for poor scanning….
